Imposter Syndrome

Imposter Syndrome

In this episode, Matt Landsiedel and Travis Holp talk about imposter syndrome and how they have navigated periods in their lives when they felt like imposters. They also unpack the concepts of self-doubt, inadequacy, perfectionism, and fear of failure, which often underlie imposter syndrome.

The questions we explored in this episode are:

  1. Can you share a time when you experienced imposter syndrome?
  2. In what ways do you experience self doubt?
  3. How do you deal with feelings of inadequacy?
  4. What have you learned that's helped you deal with imposter syndrome?
