Now that we all carry cameras in our pockets, it can feel like we're in the spotlight pretty much all the time, especially considering the new pressures of social media. And with that comes public scrutiny, and the dreaded trolls.

Returning to the show this week to help us figure it all out is my buddy and ABC co-star, a true rock star of health and fitness, Mr. Shaun T.

Shaun, in case you don't know, is one of the greatest motivators. Whenever I'm feeling down, he definitely gets me in the right mental state to feel like I can do anything again.

On this episode, we talk about how Shaun has dealt with trolls over the years and his advice for anyone who is subjected to negativity on the Internet, social media, or even in real life.
