In today's world, it's more important than ever to be genuine. We all have various online profiles, whether it be on social media or podcasts. So it's easy to think that one can just create a nice, glossy impression of themselves, and the world will believe it. But you know what the funny thing is, eventually people figure out who you are, even in the online world.

We tend to communicate what we feel the most about. We have understood this concept of reputation building, that it takes years and years to build one and then seconds to lose it away. Why does it go away? it's usually because people have discovered what the truth is. So the best approach is to just be authentic. 

A great example of authenticity in sports and life is Virat Kohli, the India cricket captain. He oozes authenticity with all his actions backing up his words. His intent is clear and all the players and opponents believe in his passion. 


How do you get started? If you're a person who has fun while at work, let people know. Let them know that you're the person who will play hard and work harder. It takes time. It doesn't have to be perfect. And that's the beauty of it. If you're communicating your imperfections, you are being authentic
