Success is often clouded by self-doubt and the fear of being exposed as an imposter. In this latest episode Greg and I discuss overcoming these fears through authenticity and vulnerability.

We share our experiences with imposter syndrome and discuss the impact of societal pressures and curated social media. We offer insights from our backgrounds in business, martial arts, real estate, providing strategies to help you fight self-doubt.

We examine the role of external validation and emphasize the importance of internal metrics, highlighting Gary Vaynerchuk's and Dr. Sean Pastuch's insights. We define imposter syndrome and its various types, using personal stories to illustrate our journey through self-acceptance.

One significant takeaway is the struggle with pricing our worth. We discuss how the tension between commercial success and artistic integrity can fuel imposter feelings, especially when it comes to pricing and negotiation. We stress the importance of valuing one's work and charging what one is truly worth.

Remember, imposter syndrome doesn't define you. It's a shared experience, and by confronting it with honesty and courage, we can all emerge victorious.
