Welcome back to Working Overtime, the Wings to Regular Workings Beatles.

I'm your host, Isaac Butler.

And I'm your other host, June Thomas.

So what are we going to be talking about today, Isaac?

Well, June, I wanted to revisit something that we spoke about a couple weeks ago on regular

old working, the issue of confidence in your work and in your life.

What is it?

Why is it useful?

How do you get it?

Is it fakeable?

Now, I know that you are English, June, and thus you are culturally allergic to expressing

any sort of confidence overtly, but I have to ask, are there things in your daily professional

and creative life that you feel confident about?

Yes.

Isaac, I am one of the world's greatest copy editors.

I have a lot of confidence there.

I'm a creative fact checker, which sounds like a contradiction, but absolutely is not.

And I think I was an empathetic editor and that I was able to make a writer's work

better while minimizing their alienation from the final product.

What about you, Isaac?

Yeah, well, before we get to our answers, I just want to know that wasn't too painful

for you.
