## Resource

In this episode of&nbsp; Scott and Mark Learn To ,&nbsp; Scott Hanselman &nbsp;and&nbsp; Mark Russinovich &nbsp;dive into the emotional complexity of receiving feedback—especially when&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;tough to hear. They explore the difference between constructive critique and&nbsp;personal opinion, the impact of timing and context, and how motivation behind feedback can shape how&nbsp;it's&nbsp;received. Sharing real stories about presentation flops, speaker coaching, and surprising reactions to their ideas, they reflect on how experience builds resilience and why&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;important to hold onto your convictions while staying open to growth. They also touch on the balance between instinct and data in decision-making, the subtle politics of corporate resistance, and even the fine art of surviving massive Zoom meetings with 81 attendees.&nbsp;It’s&nbsp;an honest, funny, and thoughtful conversation about learning, evolving, and breathing through it all.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Takeaways: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The importance of understanding the&nbsp; context &nbsp;in which feedback is received&nbsp; How hard it can be to&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;belief in your work after negative feedback&nbsp; You&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;have to accept all feedback you can pick what serves you&nbsp;the&nbsp;best&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Who are they? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; View Scott Hanselman on LinkedIn &nbsp;&nbsp; View Mark Russinovich on LinkedIn &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Watch Scott and Mark Learn on&nbsp; YouTube &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Listen to other episodes at&nbsp; scottandmarklearn.to &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Discover and follow other Microsoft podcasts at &nbsp;microsoft.com/podcasts &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hos…
