The Hidden Pattern Destroying Your Success (Delete Your Old Self) | Ed Mylett
"People always say that with celebrities, oh, people are always being the yes man, but we have yes men in our personal lives too. Like it's not just celebrities, it's everybody. Like we have yes men all over the place. Like stop validating me and tell me what to do. Like just actually like call me out."
In a joint interview, celebrity couple Julianne Hough and former NHL player Brooks Laich challenged the assumption that only famous people are surrounded by enablers. They argued that everyday peer groups function as yes men by constantly validating rather than challenging, and that intentional friction is necessary for growth in any life, not just public ones.
