He explains that hate frequently comes from those in your hometown or similar background because your success reminds them of their own unfulfilled potential. Shelton encourages viewers to respond to hate with empathy and love rather than engaging negatively, recounting his experience turning a hateful message into an opportunity to help someone in crisis.
