Welcome to The Man Talk Show.

And joining me today is Dr. Aziz Gazi Pura, who is a clinical psychologist and one of the world's leading confidence experts.

He teaches people how to rapidly learn confidence so they can eliminate social anxiety and self-doubt,

master conversations, accelerate in their careers, and create deeply fulfilling relationships.

After struggling with crippling shyness and social anxiety personally for over a decade, Dr. Aziz became determined to find a way to

freedom. He completed his doctoral training at Stanford and Palo Alto Universities and is the founder

of the Center for Social Confidence. He is also the author of four bestselling books,

including his most popular book, Not Nice.

So as you can probably guess, we're going to be talking about confidence.

Just a couple words from Dr. Aziz.

This is a quote that he shared that I really enjoyed.

He said, honesty or authenticity is not this very simplistic thing of, I say whatever I want to whoever I want, however I want, and they have to learn how to take it.

We want to have a level of sophistication.

Ah, good stuff.

So we're going to be talking about confidence, how it shows up, what blocks us from being able to maintain that level of confidence to develop it, how we curate it for ourselves.

Dr. Z shares his own definition.

I share a little bit about mine.

We dive into what prevents people from being within an authentic way of living their lives and making powerful

decisions for themselves so that they can be more confident.

And Dr. Aziz shares some very specific steps that you can take and sort of implement in

your life to level up your own individual sense of confidence.

So I hope that you enjoy this episode.
