I wanted to speak about confidence and some mental models you can use to repair them or reduce their impact on your life.  I'm well known for my confidence and some of the things it's brought me.  But what's less known is the essence of that confidence and how I've framed it for those that suffer from confidence issues.  Wherever you are on that spectrum, you'll find at least one of the perspectives here useful.

Disclaimer:  I haven't trained in mental health in any formal capacity and I'm certainly not a therapist, but try to apply at least one point in this podcast as a way to improve your self-confidence.  Even a small positive action is a step in the right direction.

Side note: We get into real depth on this one because Vik sinks his teeth into a few of the points so hopefully everything you hear will be easy to understand and apply.  If you need any expansion, our Instagram's are below.

The question "How do you deal with imposter syndrome?" came in via Instagram and so I decided to answer it.  We talk about not only feeling imposter syndrome but also sometimes causing it.  Vik dives into some of his imposter syndrome moments and the idea about "deserving" something good.  You'll also hear stories about meetings with former Zappo's CEO Tony Hsieh (RIP), Gary Vaynerchuk, Busta Rhymes' on-stage co-pilot Spliff Star and we even talk about life post imposter syndrome.  Enjoy our first ever truly meaty episode of The Raj Kotecha show and show us love on the DM - because you could end up inspiring a whole episode like this one.

In this first episode, Vik and I are trying to justify why we have assigned ourselves even more unpaid work by starting another podcast and correct a Russell Peters story which I have probably mistold on every interview I've ever given.  Overall, a reasonable start.
