Episode DescriptionIn this electrifying episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, Chris Schembra sits down with transformational speaker, coach, and author Juan Bendana, whose new book Confident by Choice is poised to reshape how we think about courage, action, and self-belief.This conversation dives deep into a liberating truth: confidence isn't a fixed trait—it's a daily decision. Together, Chris and Juan unpack the Confidence Cycle, a four-part science-backed framework (Micro Energy → Micro Courage → Micro Action → Micro Proof) designed to help everyday people break through fear and build an inspired life—one step at a time.But this episode is more than a framework. It's a heart-to-heart about mentorship, identity, failure, and the beauty of baby steps. Juan opens up about battling binge eating, hitting rock bottom, and how a good friend's invitation to California helped him reset his entire life. From the weight of imposter syndrome to the surprising science behind confidence and Olympic achievement, Juan reminds us that we are all capable of change—especially when we stop trying to get it perfect and start moving with purpose.If you've ever felt stuck, scared, or unsure where to begin, this episode is your signal to start. Listen in, take a breath, borrow some belief, and get ready to build the life you know is waiting for you. 10 Quotes from the Episode:“Confidence is not the absence of self-doubt. It's the willingness to act anyway.” – Juan Bendana “The way out is through. And the way through is trust.” – Chris Schembra “Confident people spend more time with self-doubt than less confident people. They just have a better relationship with it.” – Juan Bendana “When something bad happens, most people ask, ‘What's wrong with me?' Confident people ask, ‘What do I do next?'” – Juan Bendana “Energy is the spark. Courage is the ignition. Action is the engine. Proof is the fuel.” – Chris Schembra “You can borrow someone else's confidence. Just try on their life like it's a fresh pair of Jordans.” – Juan Bendana “You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt (quoted by Juan) “The people in your life need you more than you think. Build your confidence, then give it away.” – Juan Bendana “Olympians aren't born more confident. They just commit to small steps over time.” – Chris Schembra “I'm not there… yet. That single word creates space for growth, grace, and transformation.” – Juan Bendana 10 Key Takeaways:Confidence is a process, not a personality trait. It's something we build through micro decisions, not something we're born with or without. Micro Energy is the foundation. Whether it's rest, excitement, curiosity, or joy—building momentum starts with finding even the smallest spark. Micro Courage means choosing discomfort on purpose. Confidence grows when we lean into fear, not when we avoid it. Micro Action is where transformation begins. Even walking to the gym without going inside can be a powerful first step. Micro Proof is confidence in motion. Success and failure both offer evidence that we're capable of growth. You don't have to do it alone. Mentorship, community, and borrowed belief are part of the journey. Failure builds confidence when it's reframed. Trying and failing proves you had the courage to show up, and that's enough. Imposter syndrome is a sign of growth. It shows you're operating at your edge, where confidence can be forged. Language matters. Swapping “I can't” for “I can't… yet” changes fixed mindsets into growth mindsets. Confidence creates identity shifts. When you accumulate enough proof, you don't just act differently—you become someone new. Suggested Follow-Up Actions for Listeners:Pre-order Juan's book Confident by Choice (link in show notes)—and send it to someone who needs a boost of belief. Do one micro action today toward a goal you've been putting off—send the email, take the walk, make the ask. Reflect and journal: Where in your life are you telling yourself "I'm not enough"? Rewrite that story with "...yet." Send a voice note to a friend or team member with words of confidence. “You're amazing. I'm glad you're here.” Reach out to Juan on LinkedIn and say “You're welcome”—as a callback to the moment he thanked all the strivers listening. Episode Links:

I'm SO excited to share this week's episode with you – it's one I think so many of you will truly connect with. In this conversation, I chat with Alison Shamir, a globally recognised voice on imposter syndrome and the brilliant author of Conquer Your Imposter. It's such an important topic – because imposter syndrome doesn’t just affect beginners. It can hit anyone – even the most accomplished, experienced and successful among us – and hold us back from living the life we were meant to live. Alison shares her own powerful story of experiencing debilitating imposter syndrome, how it showed up in her career, and the breakthrough moment that helped her transform her life. We dive deep into what imposter syndrome really is (spoiler: it’s different from self-doubt!) and how we can start to change the inner narratives that are keeping us stuck. Here are three things you'll take away from this episode: A clear understanding of how imposter syndrome works – and how it’s different from everyday self-doubt. Tools and mindset shifts to help silence your inner imposter. Why your past doesn’t have to define your future. I personally learnt SO much from this chat – and even though I haven’t experienced imposter syndrome myself, I know many of you have. This is a must-listen.

Your first month as a leader matters—don't let the momentum fade.In this week's episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault breaks down what really needs to happen in the critical first 30 days of a new leadership role. The initial excitement has worn off, the hallway hellos have faded, and now all eyes are on you to lead.This episode delivers five strategic moves to help you transition from being the “new hire” to a respected, trusted leader who gets things done—without falling into the trap of overthinking, overworking, or burning out.Whether you've just stepped into a new role or want to reset your leadership presence, this episode will help you lead with confidence and intention in the moments that matter most.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Clarify your mandate—don't assume alignment. Ask your boss directly: “What does success look like in 90 days?” Get it in writing and compare it with what your team expects. Misalignment erodes trust fast.2. Define your leadership style early. Let your team know how you operate—your preferences, boundaries, and expectations. Consistency builds psychological safety and makes you easier to follow.3. Deliver a visible, meaningful win. Find a low-risk, high-impact problem to solve. Don't wait for people to notice—communicate what you did and why it matters.4. Deepen relationships with key players. Schedule check-ins with your boss, your team, and key peers. Use “reverse feedback” meetings to invite trust and collaboration.5. Anchor yourself emotionally. Imposter syndrome often kicks in by week four. Keep a list of what's working and give yourself credit—your brain needs proof that you're making progress.“People this month might not be giving you polite in the hallway anymore. And they're looking and starting to judge—which by the way is completely normal.” - Karen GombaultBy the end of your first month, you're no longer the new person. You're the leader. This episode gives you the practical steps to solidify trust, define your leadership brand, and stay grounded while pressure builds.

In this episode, Phil and Salvatore Manzi delve into the art of communication, particularly in educational settings. They discuss the significance of building trust through authentic communication, the importance of engaging introductions, and the impact of presence on audience perception. Salvatore shares insights on overcoming imposter syndrome and the balance between planning and spontaneity in communication. The conversation also highlights the role of storytelling in effective communication and concludes with Salvatore's upcoming book, 'Clear and Compelling,' aimed at empowering individuals to express their authentic voices. Glossophobia is a prevalent fear that affects many people. Effective communication is essential for creating impact and influence. Building trust with participants is crucial for facilitators. Vulnerability in communication fosters deeper connections. Engaging introductions can capture audience attention. Presence and body language significantly affect audience perception.

The Cello Sherpa Podcast Host, Joel Dallow, interviews cellist Emilio Colón. Emilio is Professor of Cello at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. After getting off to a rocky start with his teacher Janos Starker, Emilio talks about how he felt that he was dead last amongst his peers on the cello, which in turn motivated him to work as hard as he could to prove that he had what it took to be successful. Shortly after graduating from Indiana, Janos Starker called him and invited him back to join the cello faculty of his alma mater, making him the second youngest professor ever selected to teach at the Jacobs School of Music, at the age of 26.

“I realized- dam, I'm causing them shit now and I'm not able to take it…I almost need to save them from me now. I'll come save you from anybody, and now, I have to come save you from me.” Draymond Green In one of the most personal and revealing episodes of The Pivot Podcast, 4x NBA champion and outspoken leader Draymond Green joins Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor for a raw, unfiltered conversation that dives deep into the mind of one of sports' most polarizing figures. Draymond opens up about his journey from Saginaw, Michigan to the NBA spotlight, the evolution of his role with the Golden State Warriors, and the challenge of balancing intensity with leadership. He reflects on the highs and lows of his career—including that infamous punch—and how holding teammates accountable has shifted into something deeper: holding himself to an even higher standard. He speaks candidly about the moments he regrets—on and off the court—and how his passion, at times unchecked, has shaped him as a teammate, a leader, and a man. Offering rare insight into who he is beyond the headlines, Draymond contrasts public perception with personal truth, sharing emotional stories of fatherhood, the sacrifices of family, and one pivotal moment that nearly made him walk away from the game he loves. He also addresses Steph Curry's recent admission of imposter syndrome—why it surprised him, and why it didn't—shedding light on the bond between teammates whose dynasty was fueled by doubt and relentless drive. Draymond also breaks down LeBron James' take on ring culture, offering clarity on a message he believes was misunderstood, and shares thoughts on KD's future and the shifting nature of loyalty in the NBA. From legacy to leadership, mindset to media, Draymond doesn't hold back—offering one of the most honest, vulnerable, and introspective conversations of his career. With retirement now looming, he reflects on the fears that come with closing this chapter and the legacy he hopes to leave behind. This isn't just a basketball conversation—it's a story of growth, accountability, and a story of one of the most misunderstood sports' figures.

On the afternoon of June 19, 1994, thirteen-year-old Nicholas Barclay left his home in San Antonio, Texas to play basketball with some friends. Hours later, he called home to ask his mother for a ride, but was told he would have to walk home, but Nicholas never came back. His mother reported him missing and an investigation was started, but it quickly stalled when there was no evidence of what happened to Nicholas.Three years passed and one day, out of the blue, the family received a call from the US Embassy. Nicholas had been discovered in Spain, they said. He had endured terrible trauma at the hands of a human trafficking ring and he was desperate to come home. The family was elated and eagerly welcomed Nicholas back into their home. But to some of the people involved in the boy's return to Texas, there were just too many things about his story that didn't quite add up.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1998.
