Believing you have a great idea is good, knowing your idea is great is even better. If you’re afraid of having those tires kicked, it’s because you know there’s something wrong or you’re afraid there’s something wrong. So, beware of someone who doesn’t want you to look behind the curtain, kick the tires, and have their assumptions tested. All of those things are part of your job. Helping people realize shitty ideas in order to preserve their ego is an equally shitty way to earn a living.
