Cam Newton and "Crushing It"

Feb 08, 2016

Watching Cam Newton last year with his little dab deal and his dancing and showboating reminded me of a lot of the young comedians I meet. But... after a good set instead of dancing their mode of showboating is posting "I CRUSHED IT!" type posts on social media.

Then came the Super Bowl. Cam Newton certainly didn't crush it. In fact, he sucked it.

So what? That happens. Everybody has a bad set now and then. Yep. But notice Newton, because of his showboating ways is getting skewered. In fact, some of the social media (and real media) comments have said things like, "Had he not been such an immature little turd I'd feel some empathy toward him."

I agree. Hopefully he'll mature and show some humility in the future. Then he'll earn respect. Respect is earned, not proclaimed. If you happen to "crush it" fine. But you don't have to tell the world, the world will tell itself for you.

Getting that feedback from your audience very important especially when you're in a business where word of mouth has such an impact on your career. I suppose if I spent more time with my audience and gave them a good reason to post about me I'd have a lot more feedback. How to do that exactly will require some more thought. And maybe a beer.
