Confidence isn't something you are born with; it’s a muscle you have to build through intentional action and the refusal to abandon yourself.

I sat down with Rebecca Hatch Black at the Nashville Success Summit to talk about the internal friction every entrepreneur faces. We dig into the "inner critic" that tries to talk you out of your potential and why true confidence is actually quiet, peaceful and grounded in clear boundaries.

Let’s chat:

1. Naming your inner critic to separate your true self from your doubts.

2. Why confidence is the foundation for finding your purpose and calling.

3. The danger of "abandoning yourself" just to please other people.

4. The "Bless and Release" method for setting professional boundaries without burning bridges.

5. Why chasing riches often leads to misery while contentment leads to impact.
