Summary
In today's episode I mention a comment made in Tim Ferriss' "Four Hour Workweek" about all human beings being insecure at some level.
Why does this matter? Well, people tend to have an authority bias towards those who have accomplished things of significance, placing them on pedestals and acting as though they have all the answers. As though they don't share the same questions and concerns as everyone else.
In reality, no one has all the answers or has everything figured out. The differentiator is that some people push forward anyway. Like Ryan Holiday states, confidence is earned.
So yes, we are all insecure. We all have our doubts and problems. But greatness is about moving forward anyway, knowing the losses will make you stronger and the little victories will ultimately stack up.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Panero. |
| 0:04.0 | In this episode, we're going to talk about authority bias |
| 0:06.5 | and how, you know, the perceived greatest minds, the most influential people of our time, |
| 0:11.6 | don't have all the answers. |
| 0:13.2 | What they have is self-belief. |
| 0:15.5 | I don't know. So I was able to pull another little gem from Tim Ferriss's four-hour work week the other day. |
| 0:33.9 | And one thing he does well is he takes the complex and he makes it so simple and so |
| 0:38.2 | relatable. And that's truly difficult to do. It's like a pop song, right? It's hard to make a |
| 0:43.7 | catchy four-minute song. That in itself is an art. Well, he's really good at taking these |
| 0:48.1 | ideas and making them relatable and simple. And one thing he talks about is, you know, everyone's |
| 0:53.1 | insecure. That in itself, know, everyone's insecure. |
| 0:57.2 | That in itself, right? |
| 0:58.7 | Everyone is insecure. |
| 1:04.4 | We grant authority bias to the people that we look up to or the people that have done things, right? |
| 1:12.1 | Like I said in the intro, the influential people in our world, the people who have, you know, accomplished great things, |
| 1:14.2 | it's almost like we see them as infallible. |
| 1:17.6 | When in reality, nope, they're insecure. |
| 1:19.9 | They question what they're doing, right? |
| 1:21.1 | They don't have the answers. |
| 1:23.5 | They look in the mirror and know it's not figured out. |
| 1:26.0 | There's just, there's a subtle difference. |
| 1:30.0 | They understand, they trust themselves to figure it out as it comes. The Ryan Holiday quote that I use all the time, it's, man, |
