[S1E8] Impostor Syndrome

Listen Later

David and Brent talk about impostor syndrome and their own struggles with it.

David defines impostor syndrome and explains some of his own experience of feeling like an 'impostor'. Brent details his own experience as he became a productivity coach. David presents the idea that "you're only ever you", and what it implies. They discuss how impostor syndrome is most often invalid, and how best to think about it.

Today's 3 Takeaways

  1. You are the person most capable of undermining your own self-belief. But you can also control for this (and you should).
  2. Remember what first brought you to the opportunities you are taking. Let your confidence win out over your doubts.
  3. Don't feel inferior. But do feel grateful.
