Episode Details

Confidence isn't something you're born with — it's evidence you've collected. And you already have more of it than you think.

This episode is the pep talk I gave a friend who couldn't see himself the way everyone else sees him. We're unpacking why imposter syndrome, not pitching, not selling and not showing up are all the same problem wearing different outfits — and the exact process I use to build confidence in a brand new situation by borrowing proof from the parts of my life where I already slay.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why imposter syndrome, avoiding the pitch and not selling all come down to one thing
• The "book the plane ticket" method for finding confidence you didn't know you had
• How to stop waiting for evidence and start creating it
• Why avoiding hard things starves your future self of proof
• The real reason most small businesses never break past $50K
• How I built a six-figure process by selling it before I'd created it
• The kindest gift you can give the version of you six months from now
