Sorry, Your Invitation Got Lost in the Mail

Not Everyone Deserves a Seat at Your Table — Especially If They Didn’t Bring a Chair

In this episode of Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report, we break down why protecting your peace is a form of self-respect—especially when success starts attracting the folks who were missing when you were building. We’re calling out the difference between those who helped you build the table and the ones showing up just to eat.

Here’s what we’re serving:

• Why you need to stop offering seats to people who ghosted your grind
 • The eerie silence when you dream out loud—versus the fake support once you gain traction
 • How non-believers often feel entitled to your results
 • Longevity doesn’t equal loyalty
 • Why true support shows up in real-time, not in hindsight
• And how to protect your energy like it’s bottle service on Sunday—because not every clap is applause

🎧 Whether you're navigating new success, building something from scratch, or checking the loyalty around you—this one's for your peace, not their comfort.

Hey y'all, stop inviting people to tables. They wouldn't help you build. Welcome to the Brunch Behavior, the Poor Report I'm Styles and today's pour Reserve seating only. Let me break this down for you. The Sip Sermon you had the vision. You lit the candle, cooked the meal, built the damn table from scratch and now folks want to slide in with the fork like they was at Whole Foods helping you source the ingredients. Nah, I play too much. Stop inviting people at tables. They wouldn't lift a screwdriver for Yo.

Speaker 1: 0:37

It's wild how silent people get when you're dreaming out loud. You mention your business idea crickets. You bring up your goals, they change the subject. But the minute you get traction, suddenly. They've always believed in you Air quotes. Of course, let's be honest, most of them didn't believe. They was just waiting and watching to see if you publicly flop before they attach their name to you. But now that the plates are hot and the vibe is curated, they want in. Truth is, they don't respect the table, they just want the menu.

Speaker 1: 1:14

Now here's what it looks like in the wild the brunch behavior breakdown. Yo, you remember when you started you were scrappy, hungry, googling how to start an LLC while running off for three hours of sleep and warm iced coffee, and during that time they laughed. They called it a little project. They kept their repost fingers paralyzed. They asked for updates just to gossip, not support. Hold on, hold on, because this one's hitting close to home. Give me a second, all right, I'm ready. And now they're so proud. They want discount codes. They want vip access to something they need to help build, fund or share.

Speaker 1: 2:02

Let's be real. Some of these folks didn't even throw you a like, but now they're offended because you didn't invite them to the cookout. They feel entitled to your harvest even though they didn't pick up a shuffling. And here's where we mess up. Here's the lesson. We feel guilty, we say, but we go way back, as if time alone qualifies someone to have a seat at your table, as if longevity makes up for absence.

Speaker 1: 2:30

But this ain't charity and it's definitely not a potluck where people show up empty handed and leave with leftovers. Listen, if they wouldn't build with you, if they wouldn't struggle with you, if they wouldn't even post a link, they don't deserve a seat. They don't get a fork Hell, they don't even get a Wi-Fi password to the brunch playlist. Listen, protect your peace like a guest list, because not everyone clapping for you is clapping for you. Some folks showed up late just hoping for a plate. So what's the takeaway? Support is action, not hindsight. That's your pour for today.
