| 0:32.3 | Happy Thursday morning and happy travel day to me about ready to get on a plane to NYC. Pretty pumped about it and pretty |
| 0:41.1 | pumped about today's episode. It's based on a recent thread that I was reading in the DC, the dynamite |
| 0:48.4 | circle, that's our private forum. There's been a lot of great discussions there lately, but one that |
| 0:52.6 | really got the attention of a lot |
| 0:55.1 | of members is this idea of imposter syndrome. And I'm going to read a little bit from the |
| 1:01.5 | original post. Have you ever heard of imposter syndrome? The idea that everybody else is killing |
| 1:07.5 | it. Well, you're just kind of presenting the good bits and hoping nobody notices |

| 1:36.2 | entrepreneur sometimes. I think it's an interesting question for the listeners. If Bossman |
| 1:42.0 | was here, which he's not, I most certainly would ask him, |
| 1:44.7 | does he feel like a fraud sometimes? |
| 1:47.2 | But this episode isn't about us, and so we ended up calling a lot of the contributors to the forum. |
| 1:52.5 | And for me, it ended up being a lot less about this idea of imposter syndrome and a lot more |
| 1:59.5 | about just the general anxieties, fears, and vulnerability, |
| 2:05.1 | I think is a decent term, that we're all dealing with in life and can really be exacerbated |
| 2:10.8 | by entrepreneurship on the web. And I think some pretty interesting ways. So huge cred and thanks to everybody for coming on today's pod |
