This is Help Launton, the show that tackles all the big work questions you cannot ask anyone else.

I'm Jason Feiffer, Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine, and I'm New York Time Specialing

author and money expert, Nicole Lapin.

The helpline is open!

Have you ever been insulted?

That was stupid question.

I would like to meet the person who has never in their entire life been insulted.

So yes, okay, you have been insulted or embarrassed or someone hurt your feelings.

Maybe it happened today or last week or last year, whatever.

I bet it doesn't matter when it happened.

You still think about it from time to time.

That person, that person who insulted or embarrassed you or hurt your feelings,

that person stole some of your confidence.

They left a hole that you hide from others.

But what if, crazy idea, you shared that.

You shared the thing that you are now ashamed of.

What if one person's insult actually made other people cheer for you?

I've seen many entrepreneurs do this to great effect.

I've also done it myself.

It feels good.

And so today, I'm going to show you how you can use a gut punch to your advantage

and take control of a thing that you felt you lost.
