Summary

Have you ever created something that you’re really proud of, but when it comes time to share it with the world, you don’t feel like it’s good enough? Or maybe even that you’re not good enough? Let me tell you something: no matter how many books I’ve written or talks I’ve done or videos I’ve shared, I fear self-promotion. I’m fearful of what people think of the work itself, but I’m also fearful of what people think of me. On this episode we’re tackling that fear. . . . . .
