What makes a real apology… actually work?
This week on Wrong Way Forward, Justin and Katy break down the anatomy of an apology—and why most people get it completely wrong.
Using everything from viral “apology tours” to Will Smith’s infamous Oscars moment, they unpack the difference between saying sorry and actually taking responsibility. Because spoiler: “I’m sorry you feel that way” is not it.
They dive into:
- Why timing matters (and how waiting too long kills credibility)
- The difference between private repair and public performance
- What a genuine apology actually requires (hint: it’s not about being right)
- How to rebuild trust—and why most people skip this step entirely
- When it’s okay to not accept an apology at all
If apologizing feels uncomfortable, awkward, or like something you avoid… you’re not alone. It’s a muscle—and most people never learn how to use it.
This episode gives you the framework to do it right.
Or at the very least… stop doing it wrong.
