Why Being Misunderstood Is Part of Build...

Ed Mylett | Cumulus Podcast Network
About this episode

Have you ever felt like nobody truly understands your dreams? That chasing greatness makes you a target for criticism, doubt, and fear—even from the people closest to you? This week, I’m here to tell you that’s part of the process—and why it’s not only okay but necessary to keep going.


In this episode, I unpack why the path to success requires accepting being misunderstood. I share the power of resilience, the lessons from setbacks, and why lasting longer than others is often the key to victory. Whether it’s critics trying to dim your light or even moments of doubt about the person you’re becoming, I’ll remind you how to stay anchored in your purpose.

I share personal stories about overcoming dream stealers, dealing with self-doubt, and learning to protect the vision in your heart—even when it feels like progress is invisible. And I’ll leave you with a powerful analogy that’ll change how you view persistence and the unseen progress you’re making every single day.


You’re built for this. Your dreams are worth fighting for. It’s time to dig deeper, stay in the game, and make sure you’re there when the candy finally breaks free.


Key Takeaways:

  • Why being misunderstood is a sign you’re on the right track.
  • How to handle critics—including those closest to you.
  • The importance of resilience and lasting through the toughest moments.
  • Why invisible progress matters and how to keep swinging for your dreams.
  • A powerful story about persistence and the life-changing rewards of not quitting.


Keep swinging. Keep believing. The candy’s coming—don’t stop before it does.
