We recently connected with Wayne Bibbs and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Wayne , so happy you were able to devote some time to sharing your thoughts and wisdom with our community. So, we’ve always admired how you have seemingly never let nay-sayers or haters keep you down. Can you talk to us about how to persist despite the negative energy that so often is thrown at folks trying to do something special with their lives?
Removing them from my life as much as possible. It’s perfectly fine to make access to your personal life “by invitation only”!
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am an author, an actor, a former photographer and now a podcaster, host of “The Virulent News” podcast, which focuses on encouraging people to follow their dreams even when you yourself question your ability and no one else offers any support.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
1. As an actor, I have no fear of speaking to crowds, large or small, as long as I know what I plan to talk about.
2. I have learned to tell the difference between objective criticism, which I accept, and mean-spiritedness, which I reject.
3. I can put a story together pretty well.
My advice to anyone listening or reading this is something that can be applied to any endeavor…when you are trying new things, accept the fact that you will not reach your peak at the beginning of your journey unless you quit early on, at which point your real peak will remain undiscovered. If you continue, you will improve and improve and improve, even if the improvement is gradual.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
No question, my wife, who tells me on a regular basis how talented I am. Right behind her would be my uncle Johnny, who took an interest in my writing when I was very young.
