Did you ever think you're simply not good enough when really, you are? I hear it all the time on this podcast from guests who never thought they had permission to create. This is classic imposter syndrome, the feeling that we don't deserve our talent, skill, or success, that we are impostors in our own minds and bodies. Today's guest, Mike Sealy, was that guy once upon a time, until he had a talk with himself and decided he really did belong in a roomful of high achievers. Today, Mike coaches managers, companies, and even creatives on how to break free of preconceived notions and turn failure into an opportunity. His book, Mindset Unlocked, is the roadmap.
