Welcome to the Unapologetic Man Podcast.

The only podcast that's all about self-improvement, confidence, success, money, women, and

being a fucking man without making any apologies for it.

I'm your host, John Anthony.

And I'm Mark Singh.

And today we're going to be talking about the five stages of confidence.

Alpha Symposium.com. He wrote an article on this and we thought that we'd kind of dive

into it because you know as you go down your self-improvement journey

overarching structure of what it is that you're doing so

These five stages of confidence are different stages that you'll go through in

your life as you progress as a person and some people don't ever get past the first

stage unfortunately but hopefully most of us can can get pretty far in this in this

structure so the first one is basically making the change from forced

confidence to natural confidence and you know you know when I talk about a forced

confidence the first image that comes to mind is kind of like a try-hard

like a drug dealer thug who's just like what like come at me bro like like that kind of thing

You know because that's basically fake confidence. It's like people that just preen and posture and and they you know act really tough and talk really loud because they're trying to prove

something and you know if there's a great quote from a game of thrones that comes to mind actually

where Tyrian Lannister was talking about Joffrey
