This week I am joined by Irish comedian and three time bestselling author Rory O'Connor to talk about the anxiety that goes along with our inner critic. Self doubt, imposter syndrome and riding the waves of doubt that come along no matter what level of success you find yourself at. Rory shares his very personal story of overcoming a gambling addiction and having been perceived as less than capable when he was growing up in school. His new book Rory's Story is out now.

0:28.5	Forin. For this episode, I'm joined by Rory O'Connor. You might know him on social media as Rory's
