I agree.

My wife basically never gives people feedback unless its positive. She is a people pleaser, popular, all that stuff. No one asks her for advice.

I am much more controversial. I have to ignore emails and text messages of people asking for advice because it happens too much. (I'm busy with my own life, the people asking for advice are low-mid tier and wont follow it, people are asking for my expertise for free)

I've actually hired other people to be a second brain because my wife cannot give negative feedback.

Fascinating. Can you say more about that? How did you find them and vet them?

Found them on the website Indeed, I talked to ~20 people on the phone.

I had some screening questions.
