Patreon Question: Handling Criticism and Public Attacks

At 7:52 · chapter starts 3:16

Shawn Ryan reads a Patreon question asking how Candace Owens maintains composure in the face of accusations of disloyalty to the Black and Christian communities. Owens explains that she has reached a point where online criticism simply doesn't reach her anymore. She credits this to having real substance in her life — marriage, children, a clear sense of self — that wasn't there when she first started out. Ryan admits he still struggles with criticism far more than she does, which leads to the first genuine laugh between them.
