Do It the Way YOU Do It.

A lot of career discomfort comes from trying to lead, present, or speak in a way that isn’t actually you.

In this episode, Joe talks about why borrowed scripts, leadership clichés, and “how you’re supposed to do it” advice often only make things worse.

You’ll learn why authenticity reduces anxiety, how small moments of comfort are proof you’re capable and why judging your work by other people’s reactions is a losing game.

This one is about trusting your own style — and letting go of the need to perform.
