105. How sales people can overcome impostor syndrome - with Markus Neukom

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 8, 2025 28:11

In this deeply personal and powerfully practical episode, I sit down with legacy alchemist Markus Neukom to unpick the roots of imposter syndrome and its impact on sales leaders and high performers. What starts as a conversation about doubt quickly becomes a masterclass in authenticity, identity, and learning how to lead from your core. We explore how imposter syndrome isn't the real problem – it's a symptom of something much deeper: an authenticity struggle. Markus shares his own experience of burnout and depression, and how facing it helped him rediscover his mission and reshape how he helps leaders thrive. If you've ever questioned your own worth, wondered why success doesn't feel like success, or felt like you're “winging it” at the next level — this episode is for you. How to overcome imposter syndrome by reclaiming your authentic self Imposter syndrome is not the issue – It's a trick. The real challenge is an authenticity struggle – not knowing who you really are. You are not what others reflect – Most people define themselves based on external feedback, not internal truth. Flip that. Deconstruct your past wins – Look at moments of true success and unpack what really made them work. That's where your core value lives. Know thyself – Until you do, you're reacting to the world instead of being rooted in it. Self-awareness is the real superpower. Don't wait to live your legacy – You don't need to “leave” a legacy when you can live one every single day. Timeline summary [01:12] – “I don't teach anything I haven't experienced”: Markus on walking the talk [04:55] – The moment depression hit and what it revealed about imposter syndrome [07:10] – Why your self-confidence is built on a lie (and how to rebuild it for real) [10:13] – Crabs, fleas and elephants: the brutal psychology of human conditioning [14:46] – Identity that can't be taken from you: how to build confidence that lasts [19:05] – The question every leader must ask: Is this as good as it gets? [23:44] – A practical tool: how to reconstruct your own success stories to reconnect with your value [26:02] – “Imposter syndrome is a compliment” – what it really means when it shows up [27:26] – “If you can dream it, you can do it”: how to crash through the veil and operate in full freedom Links & resources

The panel kicks off with reactions to the iOS 26 Beta 9 and visionOS Beta 9 releases, highlighting improvements like 3D charting support for developers, enhanced accessibility ratings in the App Store, and visual refinements such as the updated liquid glass interface. While some bugs remain, overall performance feels crisper and more polished. Looking ahead to the event, the conversation centers on the iPhone 17 lineup — including rumors of a lighter iPhone 17 Air, spatial photography integration for Vision Pro, and whether the upgrades justify an annual refresh. Opinions are divided: some are eager to upgrade, while others remain skeptical about how compelling the changes will be. The panel also dives into expected updates for the Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3, including a possible return of blood oxygen monitoring and other health features. Other Apple ecosystem topics include: Apple Wallet enhancements — digital boarding passes with live activities, airport maps, luggage tracking, and U.S. passport support. AirPods Pro 3 rumors — improved noise cancellation, redesigned stems, and heart rate monitoring integration. HomePod and AirTag updates — hopes for better battery life and a more seamless user experience. Apple TV speculation — possible Wi-Fi 7 support and potential gaming opportunities. In a lighter segment, the group discusses Astropad's new anti-reflective “Fresh Coat” screen protector, designed to reduce glare by 75% on the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models. They also dive into Opera's revamped tab management on iOS, debating its potential to rival Safari and Chrome. Finally, the episode touches on Apple's AI ambitions, exploring reports of a planned answer engine integrated with Siri, leveraging deals with OpenAI, Perplexity, or even Google Gemini. While Apple's AI strategy sparks mixed opinions, the panel agrees that user privacy and energy efficiency will likely remain top priorities.

MacVoices #25229: Live! - Gemini and Siri, The FTC's Encryption Demands, Y Combinator and Epic

The MacVoices Live! panel debate reports that Apple may tap Google's Gemini for Siri, weighing multi-model AI, privacy, and sandboxed partnerships. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, and Jim Rea review the FTC's warning not to weaken encryption at governments' request, then examine Y Combinator's brief backing Epic against App Store fees. The discussion wraps up with claims that Meta inflated ad outcomes and evaded Apple's tracking rules, and the often uncomfortable trade-offs of still using Facebook.

How to deconstruct your faith

The David Alliance

Garth Heckman TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com The David Alliance The Journey Away: Understanding Why Individuals Leave the Christian Faith Understanding the Journey Away from Faith Faith deconstruction, within the context of Christianity, refers to a process where individuals critically examine and potentially reject the religious beliefs they once held as true…. I don't believe it is a critically examined decision. I think 100% of the time it is emotional. Remember what Fatigue makes cowards out of all of us. Vince Lombardi… I feel it is the same way when we walk away. We become fatigued in our walk. We let the struggles of life beat us up and drain us. We want a quick fix, we want a “feel good moment”, we have dissapointments… but they are all based on our feelings. Seeds of Doubt and Disillusionment start out as feelings from things that did not go our way. One significant factor involves negative experiences with the church itself. The role of parental influence and the strength of religious reinforcement during childhood also play a critical part in the development and retention of faith. If Mom and Dad do not have an active vibrant and powerful walk with God… you are more prone to walk away or at least never dive in deep. Moreover, higher education and exposure to diverse perspectives can introduce substantial challenges to established religious beliefs. The experience of being challenged with new ideas and concepts that contradict religious teachings, often encountered in college or university settings, is a significant factor in the rejection of religious beliefs. deconversion process. The Weight of Experience: How Personal Struggles Can Erode Faith Personal experiences, especially those involving suffering and disappointment, can significantly erode an individual's faith. Trauma, loss, and the perception of unanswered prayers often prompt individuals to question their relationship with God and the tenets of their Christian belief. Similarly, the experience of perceived unanswered prayers can lead to feelings of doubt and abandonment, or question the efficacy of prayer itself and the nature of God's involvement in the world. Intellectual Challenges to Christian Beliefs Intellectual challenges pose a significant hurdle for some individuals in maintaining their Christian faith. Conflicts between religious dogma and scientific understanding, particularly concerning the origins of the universe and life (e.g., evolution versus creationism, the age of the earth) , also contribute to a shift away from faith. Furthermore, the intellectual struggle with the problem of evil – The Social Landscape: Influence of Community and Culture on Faith Social and cultural factors wield considerable influence on an individual's faith journey and can significantly contribute to the decision to walk away from Christianity. Interactions with people holding different beliefs can challenge the exclusivity claims often made by Christianity. Emotional and Psychological Aspects of Faith Deconstruction The process of faith deconstruction is often accompanied by a complex array of emotional and psychological experiences.Feelings of guilt may arise from questioning or doubting long-held beliefs, often deeply ingrained by religious teachings that emphasize unwavering faith. This internalized pressure can lead to significant anxiety and the fear of divine punishment or social ostracism. Phases of Transition: Understanding the Stages of Moving Away from Faith Individuals moving away from their Christian faith often go through a series of stages or phases. The process typically begins with initial questioning and doubt, often triggered by specific events, intellectual challenges, or personal struggles.This initial phase can be marked by cognitive dissonance and a struggle to reconcile emerging uncertainties with existing beliefs. Following this, individuals may enter a stage of exploration, actively seeking out alternative perspectives and critically evaluating religious doctrines. This involves intellectual engagement with viewpoints that differ from their religious upbringing and a willingness to examine the foundational tenets of Christian belief. Some would say that the process of walking away from God is a multi faceted process with many limbs and tentacles and can happen in many many ways… I think it is more simplistic than that…. I believe it truly comes down to The Impact of Isolation from other believers. We see people all the time who become separated and secluded from others and that is the first step to walking from their faith. I don't just mean alone, but alone with the wrong people. Isolation causes inflammation of ones of ones information. Meaning when we see only one side of life, problems, religions, and we isolate ourselves form solid Christian relationships - these things become inflamed and infected in our psyche and soul and spirit. Slowly killing us. Why is scripture so strategic in continuing to meet as believers and that we are a body… because God in his infinite wisdom knows that isolation kills us. Stay plugged in, stay in church, stay in your bible study, stay in your Xn friends lives.

We started Deconstruct back in 2019 when we were deep in the process of publicly questioning, evolving, and reimagining what faith, spirituality, and life even meant to us.

We'll always be grateful for that.By 2023, things shifted — as they do — and we evolved into Curiocity, a space where curiosity (get it?) led the way.

Maybe your relationship with a loved one has been strained or even cut off because of your “toxic” Christian beliefs and you don't know what to do. Maybe you're experiencing doubt yourself and facing hard questions about truth, God, the Bible, theology and the gospel. In this timely interview Jonathan Morrow talks with popular author and speaker Alisa Childers about these and other important questions.A movement called ‘deconstruction' is sweeping through our churches and it is affecting our loved ones. It has disrupted, dismantled, and destroyed the faith of so many, and this book can help you not only understand what's happening but also stand your ground and respond with clarity and confidence.Some who leave the faith feel wounded by the church. Others feel repressed by some of the moral imperatives found in Scripture. For some, it leads to a custom-made spirituality. For others, deconstructing their faith leads them away from the truth into agnosticism, atheism, the occult, or humanism.Get the new book - The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It's Destructive, and How to Respond by Alisa Childers and Tim BarnettAbout the Book:This book will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many.
