Have you noticed how the Australian property market keeps defying the pessimists? Every time someone says prices have to fall, the market seems to tap them on the shoulder and say, "Not so fast."   Well, the latest November home price report is out, and it paints a very clear picture: Australia's housing markets are still running hot - and in some cities, they're running very hot.   According to the latest data from My Housing Market, national house prices have risen for nine consecutive months, with the November quarter alone delivering another solid 1.3 percent jump.   But averages never tell the full story.   I'm joined today by Dr Andrew Wilson to discuss his November report which doesn't just highlight what's happening now - it hints at what's coming next. And his view is that 2025 could deliver even stronger price growth than 2023 and 2024.   Takeaways  ·         2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for property investors. ·         Despite affordability challenges, the housing market continues to thrive. ·         First home buyer schemes are expected to significantly impact the market. ·         Brisbane has seen substantial price increases, outperforming other regions. ·         The national home price has shown consistent growth across capital cities. ·         Imposter syndrome is common among successful investors and entrepreneurs. ·         Strategic investment is crucial in navigating the property market. ·         Market predictions can often be misleading; long-term fundamentals matter. ·         The unit market is experiencing a resurgence, particularly in Melbourne. ·         2026 is expected to bring steady growth, but not as strong as 2025.   Chapters    00:00  Prices rise for the ninth month as housing markets outperform the pessimists. 02:08  Capital cities log another strong month despite affordability pressures. 03:20  Quarterly method shows November softer than October but still robust. 05:18  Near-10% annual growth and first-home-buyer surge set to push prices higher. 07:20  Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Darwin dominate with standout annual gains. 12:53  Outlook: momentum continues into 2026, though growth should moderate.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's How to Grow a Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio in Your Spare Time.  Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report – What's ahead for property for 2026 and beyond.   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at: www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

I'm so grateful to have the incredible Mel McSherry on The Ripple Effect Podcast! We explore Human Design for entrepreneurs and the surprising ways it can eliminate burnout, imposter syndrome, and that nagging feeling that you're doing everything right, yet something still feels off. Mel's story is powerful. Being a business & life guide, Mel McSherry helps inspired yet overwhelmed entrepreneurs honor their lives and become the architects of their own success. Mel uses their spiritual gifts and 15+ years of business-building experience to slash entrepreneurs' stress and bring their success to life! Using both Human Design in partnership with traditional business development tools, Mel coaches others on how they can connect to what they want, understand how they are designed to create what they want, and implement their strengths and strategies, so every day they are profitable–mentally, emotionally, and financially. As an entrepreneur since 2010, Mel has launched two successful businesses, become a 2x published author, spoken almost 200 times all over the US and overseas, and created a true life by design–all while being the primary caregiver to their teenage son with autism. We discuss time and energy management, emotional and energetic profitability, the power of honoring your natural design, and what happens when you stop forcing yourself into strategies that were never meant for you.

Ian Lara describes the real, uneven path of a touring comic: some cities sell out, others are thin, and that's normal. He emphasizes controlling what you can like stage craft, content output, and gratitude all while resisting comparison spirals from social media. He breaksdown his storytelling style with every line being a joke. Online, he favors clipping strong material over chasing crowd-work virality and insists stand-up must remain the priority even if podcasting takes off.More info about Ian Here: https://www.ianlaralive.com/Join our Patreon: http://patreon.com/hotbreathpodWhat you'll learnThe “sold-out then 12 people” reality of touring in the clip eraWriting punchy stories (a laugh nearly every line)Crowd work vs. material: when it helps—and when it cheatsThe New York grind: 5–7 nights, 2–5 sets… and finding your way+MOREJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/hotbreathpod?sub_confirmation=1Check out our classes and workshops here: https://hotbreathmedia.com

Imposter Syndrome: That Lying B*tch in Your Head Let's get real—imposter syndrome is that sneaky, relentless voice that tells you you're not good enough, smart enough, talented enough... even when the receipts say otherwise. You could have a degree, a promotion, applause, or a goddamn crown on your head—and still feel like a fraud just waiting to be exposed. In this episode, we're naming and shaming imposter syndrome. I'll break down what it actually is (hint: it's not just “self-doubt”), how it shows up (spoiler: perfectionism, procrastination, and overworking are all part of its shady crew), and what the hell you can do to shut it the fuck up. I'm not here to coddle your inner critic—I'm here to help you fire that asshole and take your fucking power back. So if you're tired of second-guessing yourself, downplaying your brilliance, or feeling like you're winging life on a tightrope made of anxiety—this episode is your wake-up call.

Kass and Mike Lazerow who are serial entrepreneurs, seasoned investors, and co-authors of Shoveling Sh!t: A Love Story About the Entrepreneur's Messy Path to Success joined me for one of the most honest conversations I've had about what it really takes to build companies and build a life. They share the unvarnished truth about their journey: surviving the dot-com crash, buying Golf.com back from bankruptcy, founding and scaling Buddy Media (eventually acquired by Salesforce for $745 million), and raising three kids while raising capital. They talk about the choices that shaped them, including why they walked away from a bigger offer from Google and how radical transparency kept their team committed during a three-month period when they couldn't make payroll.We also dive into the patterns they see in the 100+ startups they've backed like how ego, secrecy, and shiny-object syndrome derail founders along with the essential habits that help leaders stay grounded. And because they work together and live together, they open up about how they divide responsibilities, handle stress, and stay connected through exits, pivots, health scares, and everything in between. Their upcoming book distills 50 hard-earned lessons about leadership, resilience, and building a life that actually works. This episode gives you a powerful preview and a reminder that the entrepreneurial path is messy, human, and absolutely worth it.Where to find Kass and Mike:InstagramFacebookMike's LinkedIn Kass' LinkedInTimestamps:(00:00) The beauty in the struggle: why entrepreneurship is a love story(01:10) Resilience as identity and getting punched 10 times for one win(19:19) Creating a workplace people stay in through loyalty and learning(20:16) Radical transparency: telling the team you might not make payroll(21:06) Bad news vs. surprises: the leadership rule that protects trust(22:21) Benevolent dictatorship vs. democracy: choosing decisive leadership(23:53) Honesty as the most valuable currency in a downturn(37:30) The pivot mindset: knowing when to throw things away(52:23) Life after a big exit and leaving ego at the door(53:45) Why working under others made Mike a stronger leader(58:26) Founders and the guilt tax: the emotional cost of ambition(01:08:45) The long-term power of paying it forward(01:10:01) When cofounding goes wrong: misalignment, fallout, and repair(01:12:50) Picking the right partner—in life and in business(01:13:29) Cofounder “prenup” talks: values, work ethic, commitment(01:14:05) No shortcuts: filtering for grit and willingness to shovel(01:15:16) Why overlapping founder roles create conflict(01:21:12) A simple lens for evaluating opportunities without the jargon(01:22:14) Imposter syndrome and grounding yourself under pressure(01:24:22) What they wish they'd kConnect with Alisa!

In this episode of the Best D Life podcast, I interview self-concept coach Lani Buess about the power of identity work in personal development. Lani shares her journey overcoming social anxiety and explains how shifting self-beliefs -rather than just behaviors -leads to lasting change. We discuss overcoming imposter syndrome, building authentic confidence, and balancing internal and external validation. Lani offers practical insights and resources, and encourages listeners to reflect on their values and embrace support, reinforcing the podcast's mission of empowerment and connection.Lani Buess is a Self-Concept Coach and owns Uplevel with Lani. She works in the area of identity, or the beliefs and ideas we have about ourselves. Lots of people work in the area of behaviors - quitting smoking, losing weight, etc - but changing behavior doesn't necessarily change the way you think about yourself. She felt this was a missing gap in the personal development industry that she wanted to address. Today, she works with high-achieving executives, entrepreneurs, and sales leaders to close the identity gaps that quietly undermine decision-making, stall growth, and cost millions. This isn't therapy. It's not mindset coaching. It's identity architecture, the work that transforms hesitation into decisive leadership in the moments that define careers and shape markets. Her clients don't just perform better under pressure. They accelerate decision-making, shorten sales cycles, close bigger deals, land promotions, lead major transitions, surpass financial glass ceilings, and step into the kind of strategic influence that drives growth. That's the difference between chance outcomes and engineered success.Connect with Lani!

I hear Jeff Lynne has recently been sidelined by a mysterious infection, and had to cancel some performances. We wish the revered music producer and founder of ELO good health and a quick recovery. Today, Bill and Rich, The Splendid Bohemians would like to celebrate this versatile Rock stylist by playing two cuts separated by decades, from two vastly different incarnations, but somehow identifiable as his, if only by the unique sensibility in which these cuts are marinated: Imposters of Life's Magazine by The Idle Race, and Tweeter and the Monkey Man by The Traveling Wilburys.There are certain tropes that signify this creator's hand: catchy musical themes, thick layers of horns and strings and witty Beatle-esque harmonies - (he even got to work with the resurrected voice of John Lennon when producing the Beatle's ghostly “reunion”tracks Free As a Bird, and Real Love. Like so many of his generation, Jeff came up under the spell of the mop tops, and even this early recording by the Idle Race has that 1967 Psychedelic flavor, pre-dating by a year, but somehow reminiscent of his future Willburys bandmate, George Harrison's song Savoy Truffle. IMPOSTERS OF LIFE'S MAGAZINEThe personnel changes of the several Birmingham beat groups in the mid-sixties are too numerous to recite here, but one group, The Nightriders are notable because they took on a teenaged Lynne as guitarist in '66 - and changed their name to The Idle Race (a more timely handle). Roy Wood of the Move, Jeff's friend and future partner in the formation of ELO, helped the IR get signed, and influential DJ John Peel was an early and strong promoter of the group. Jeff's tenure with IR was short lived however, and in 1970 he founded (with Wood) the legendary Electric Light Orchestra.This early composition has all the hallmarks that would later define Jeff's work: witty, yet Romantic lyrics; hard driving rhythms, but with plenty of surprisingly lush filigree. The ambition of the work, with its startlingly different movements, is impressive for such a young talent - but, at the core is Jeff's unmistakable ear for the “hook” - marking him as one of the most reliable masters of Pop.TWEETER AND THE MONKEY MANTweeter and the Monkey Man, from 22 years later - demonstrates how far the musician had come professionally.  Here Jeff is, arguably the lowest man on the totem pole of The Traveling Wilburys, a Super Group's Super Group (with a Beatle, George Harrison, future Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy - fucking - Orbison…., yet his mark is unmistakeable. This tune, supposedly written by Bob Dylan, who spittingly delivers it like a parody of Springsteen's New Jersey, drenched in a Sopranos sauce - and it's just plain fun. But, the chorus, penned by Jeff with George Harrison, lifts the track to the existential level of a rock opera, giving it “the hook,” the drama and the flair. The layers on this musical cake are delicious - there's George's sly slide work; the Lady Madonna horns, the timpani booms counterpointed by a tinkling piano riff; the building of the strings and horns and oohing and aaahing harmonies… they suck me in every time. Good stuff!

Whether you refer to it as “imposter syndrome” or the “imposter phenomenon,” one thing is abundantly clear: you are not alone when it comes to dealing with it as a professional in academic medicine. This week on the Faculty Factory Podcast, we are blending together two incredible interviews from our archives that dissect this phenomenon with the precision and evidence-based arguments we cherish here on our podcast for a very special “best of” episode. First up, we hear from Cynthia Rand, PhD, who discusses imposter syndrome and how it can impact leadership roles in academia, including the tendency for individuals to make dispositional attributions to others and situational attributions to ourselves—which can exacerbate feelings of being an imposter. Next up, it's Donna L. Vogel, MD, PhD, who joined the Faculty Factory to share timeless advice on dealing with imposter syndrome, centered around her succinct takeaways for overcoming it over the long term as a faculty member. Both interviews we've clipped for this “best of” broadcast can help faculty members (especially those who are transitioning into a new role) and this advice is applicable to overcoming imposter syndrome in any environment.

Applied as a discount on the first box, limited time only. In this episode of Track Limits, we sit down with Alisha Palmowski, Red Bull's F1 Academy driver, as she prepares for her first-ever race weekend in Canada. From a bold new Montreal livery to her love of 70s disco, Alisha opens up about racing, identity, pressure, and the unexpected moments that have shaped her journey so far.

The Dental A-Team often hears from team members who feel like they're not good enough. In this episode, Kiera shares with listeners how to switch from harmful self sabotage and comparison to a healthy awareness of growth and positivity. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today I want to dive into something that I think is really important. I feel, hear this from a lot of people. I've coached a lot of dentists. I've worked with a lot of team members. And so I feel like I've got a pretty good background on how to talk about this. And I think just as human nature, and I'm not saying that all of us are there, but   Every dentist, every office manager, every team member I talk to, no matter how successful or how terrible they're doing, they say, I'm not doing well. I'm not doing enough. Like I'm not doing good enough. And I just wanna like dig into this a little bit today because I think it's a lie that we all believe to some level. We feel this imposter syndrome. We feel this... ⁓   I don't know. It's just this weirdness that I want to help you rewire that story and to maybe give a different perspective on that, because the reality is you're doing better than you think you are. And I want to reset and reframe that internal dialogue because I believe being your own best cheerleader or your own worst critic, both of them have pros and cons. And I think like there's so much icky in the world that why don't we start to become your best cheerleader? I truly do believe the quote that ⁓ Tony Robbins says like where   where focus goes energy flow. So if we're focused on not being good enough or why am I not good enough or I don't know how to do this. Well, yes, there's a line of humility that I appreciate. There's also a line of self sabotage that I think we need to start to cut that script and become even stronger. really, Dental A Team's mission is to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible and to help you build thriving practices, thriving leaders, not just surviving, not just hoping and like skirting along. Dentists always want to know how they're doing compared to other dentists.   And so really just giving you kind of that baseline to help you out. ⁓ This is the emotional side of leadership. This is the self-worth, the confidence that rewiring the not enough trap that I wanna just like dig into. And it's just more of a conversation and hopefully bringing some insights and some highlights to help you stop that narrative to really highlight the growth that you can have and just to give you some better. I don't know, just a hug. You're doing so good out there. And I think like as a proud mom of you.   ⁓ Just reminding you of how good you are doing, not better than you are, not worse than you are, but realistically where you are. And I think so many of us accidentally self-sabotage the goodness that we have rather than celebrating how great we're doing. ⁓ And again, momentum builds. So let's build momentum of positivity rather than momentum of negativity. So ⁓ I think the first thing that I like to look at is like, what is the root belief that causes you to have it? So like these thoughts are coming from somewhere. So is it past experiences? Is it comparisonism? Is it perfectionism?   ⁓ I went to a Tony Robbins conference. I do love Tony so much. I have a great time there. I don't think everything's perfect, but I think a lot of great things are, are good in it. And I went to, my favorite thing is date with destiny. And I went to it last year and, ⁓ Tony always has this talk about our towards values and our way values. And, he says, why is it that we try it? We do so good in life, making it hard to feel good and easy to feel bad. And I think about this a lot. And so last year, my word was comparison and.   He actually has you go on this whole rant. So if you can imagine, I feel I present in such a different way than how I was at that conference. ⁓ The beast was unleashed, we'll put it that way. One of my dear friends was with me and they said that they've never seen Kiera like 4.0 version come out. And what Tony has you do is you actually go through, cause comparison was actually one of the biggest things that was holding me back in life. I was comparing to all these other women about my body, about my looks, about my business, about everything.   I realized that my self-sabotaging was from a deep-rooted piece and like prior to that, ⁓ was fear that I let go of. was fear of all these things. And what Tony has you do is you go on this monologue, this rant to basically just see how much of life you've lost by having this. So I went into comparison and I said like, Kiera Dent, see, hear, feel, and know that I will never, ever succumb.   to the limiting and self-sabotaging and ludicrous lie of comparison. And then you go on a rant. And luckily Eminem, I do have a side nickname of DJ Skittlez. Yep, I wanted to be a rapper with Eminem. So I figured Skittlez with a Z was gonna be my rapper DJ name. So if you ever come voting with me, DJ Skittlez does come out voting to make your perfect playlist.   But Eminem was on and it was such a good thing for me. And I remember just unleashing the beast of this comparison and you yell and you scream and you just like, you know, like, and the goal is that you, you look at your life from this lens of how much has this self sabotaging piece taken from you. And when I looked at it, like I wasn't participating fully with my family. wasn't working out at the gym because I didn't want to be compared to other women. I wasn't, ⁓   being as bold in business because I was comparing myself to what other people did and just how much of life was being sucked away from me. And so with that, if that's something like for you to just look to see where is it and what's maybe the one or two ⁓ values that you're holding onto that make you feel bad, that I would encourage to be a way value, not something we want to go towards. So for me, I have on comparison and like comparison only shows up for me when I forget that I am like just, ⁓   For me, like what I will say, I do believe in God, that I am God's greatest creation. when I, so now what I've done is I've taken comparison and I flipped it. So like, if I ever start comparison, it's only due to me forgetting that I'm God's greatest creation. And that quickly for me eliminates that. And so, and it's like fear only if I forget that I have like magic and brilliance that spews from me.   So what the goal is, is you take that root belief and you flip it and you figure out what it is. And then what is something like, it's only if I were to forget that I am like brilliant and have like unlimited potential within me. So like for fear or comparison or perfectionism or whatever it is. And so what is that? Where did that story begin? And maybe you don't know. ⁓ And maybe go through a rant if you want, or maybe just write a new definition and make it harder to feel that. So for me,   It's actually pretty hard for me now to feel comparison. Like I can go back to that, like Kiera 4.0, if you were to call my friend Pierce, he's been on the podcast, he will tell you Kiera 4.0 came out on that comparison rant to where I feel like I literally was able to obliterate it to where it's not there. And for you looking at why am I not good enough, maybe if we can find one or two of your route towards values and away values, what are those away values? And could we...   Could we acknowledge it? Could we see why it's there? And could we maybe decide to put that to rest for a little while? ⁓ And I think when I do this exercise and I write out what success means, it's crazy how many weird rules I have to put in to be successful. And maybe even for yourself, writing out like today what you feel you have to do to be successful. Oftentimes this is why we feel like we're not enough is because we've made this laundry list where it's impossible for any person.   ourselves or someone else to ever hit that level. ⁓ I talked to a friend once and she was like, yeah, for me to be successful, I have to have, I think she told me like 10 million in her bank account, which she was not even close to that. She had to have her body size be X. She had to drive a certain car. She had to live in this. And it was like, wow, well, no wonder we feel this. That's the root belief. It's so hard for us to even feel successful versus I feel successful anytime I make a patient happy.   What you do on that is we're not changing the rules of the game, but we are making it easier to feel good and harder to feel bad. So the only time I'm ever going to feel comparison is when I forget that I'm God's greatest creation. Well, yeah, like I'm not going to forget that. Like I really do think that. And not to say that I'm better than anybody else. I just truly do believe that all of us in our own way are truly God or the universe or whatever's greatest creation. I, gosh, like I feel emotional about that. I really do just believe that that's who you are.   I believe that human souls are that way. I believe that. and so it's one of those things like as a proud mom for you, if you want to take that on for a hot minute, go for it if you want to write it. But when doctors can rewrite, when you feel behind or you feel like you're not enough, maybe what enough feels like you could look at it, like list it off, but then maybe make it a bit easier for you to feel enough today. maybe being enough is reminding myself that like just being alive is enough.   Like think about how the magic of being a living soul is. Well, shoot, that is enough. And like, what does enough even mean? What does success even mean? And what's wild about that is this, there's maybe a few pieces to it. So call to action on it. Cause I like to make this tactical, even though it's such a soft skill is one, let's think of where these thoughts came from. So like, what are the top two things that are holding you back?   from feeling like you're enough. Like what are those? Is it comparison? Is it experiences? Is it like maybe someone told you that? I don't know what it is, but like, can you identify what that is? Then can you find an area where you don't feel like you're doing enough or you're not good enough and ask where that belief started and then rewrite how you're going to feel that. So what does enough mean or what does being perfect mean or what does success mean? And can we change the rules of making it harder to feel bad?   and easier to feel good. Now I know this won't be perfect and I know you're gonna like be clunky with me doing this, but really try it, take it on because if we can even change it just a smidge, I feel like that's a win. That's number one. Let's identify the root. Let's change our identity. Let's let it go. Let those pieces go and make it harder to feel bad and easier to feel good. Okay? Then we wanna measure what like honestly matters because sometimes we might be measuring against the wrong measuring stick.   So many people are like, well, I'm not enough or I'm not far enough along. And I'm like, but why? And like, because I have to be like so and so. And I'm like, but do you want their life? I'm not here to say like compare, like, I just want to know what's your life, what's your version of success. And that's where in Dental A Teaem people are like, well, Kiera, what do all your clients have to hit? And I'm like, there is no standard of what you have to hit. You have to be profitable. Yes. And you have to be growing for your own self. I don't care what that looks like, but those are like pretty much the only measurements that we have. There's no set standard. There's none of that because I want you to   truly be measuring against your own yardstick. So ⁓ for this next piece is going to be like, let's measure what success really is for you. ⁓ Maybe it's on value, values, maybe it's on lifestyle, but not on volume. And then I want you to like reflect on your life of what have you done to get closer to that, that goal or that success or being enough. ⁓   where you're focused more on that outcome and the life you're living rather than measuring up against someone else's yardstick. So, and sometimes it's like pilots, right? Like if you were a pilot and you're on a course and you're like, well, shoot, I'm going to end up over in Sweden, but I was really trying to get over to Bora Bora. Well, great. We just were on the wrong path. We're, focusing on the wrong target. And so for you measure what really matters and go for the right target, go for where you ultimately want to end up in life, go for those pieces rather than just like,   I don't know, being on the success metrics that doesn't actually matter for you. When I wrote out success last year, it was like, I have to be making XML, I have to be working this amount. And I was like, Kiera, you know better than this, why do you do this? And I think it's like, I don't know, I don't know where this stems from. I don't know why as a society we're obsessive with not being good enough, no matter how great we do, not.   Not being proud of ourselves, not being our biggest fans. ⁓ And so for that, I really think like step one is find the root. Step two is going to be figure out what success is and rewrite it to where it's easier to achieve it rather than harder to achieve it. And again, I'm not trying to move the goalpost on you. I'm just trying to build the momentum and fuel because the happier people do better in life, the more depressed and the ones who feel worthless and that they're not doing well enough, they don't do as good. So I'm trying to make it easier for you to hit success today and to realize you are successful rather than   having a harder to ever achieve it and making it so impossible you'll never achieve it. And then number three is, rewire this. So kinda like what I did, we're gonna rewire. So ⁓ confidence, certainty, being proud of yourself is a muscle and you have to train it. So every single day I literally write in my journal, things I love about myself or things where I've been successful or things that like whatever it is,   where like I've been proud of myself or whatever it is, but you start to train in an actual way. So like we can replace our negative thoughts with affirmations. We can surround ourselves with people who are great. We can celebrate the the wins. Like every day I have to write down three great things that I did from the day before. Sometimes saying it out loud, sometimes writing it down. But when you start to do this and you start to even shift that into your team where we start to focus on the wins that we've had every single day.   Like we always heard our offices out of like, are the wins you've been having? And it's purposely because I want to build a snowball of momentum rather than a snowball of negativity. It's very easy when we've trained ourselves, like a pencil groove in like old school desks when we used to be in school and we'd have those pencils and we just keep digging deeper and digging deeper. We are now rewiring you to start focusing on how you've been successful. Like for me, like comparison, like it used to be like, my gosh, like every day, like I literally, you guys used to be consumed by comparison.   I would sit here day in and day out and be like, I'm just not that great. I will tell you, and it's been seven months since I did that exercise. I'm not exaggerating. I can count probably on one hand, the number of times I've compared and I catch myself pretty quickly. I'll tell my husband like, gosh, like there was one time and I'm like, business are doing X, Y, Z and like, like, why am I not doing that? And I'm like, because I'm living my own freaking life over here. Like, yeah, I can be doing different things, but   I am so intentional with the life I'm building and I'm so proud of what I've done. And then I just like flip into this, like, Carrie, you're freaking killing it. And like, these are the great things that you've done. I'm like, let's start celebrating the wins. while yes, like comparison serving me nothing, you playing small is serving you nothing. You thinking that you're not good enough is serving you nothing, but you having the confidence in yourself, you reminding yourself of the good things you freaking took a risk to be a business owner. You go in day in, day out, you have led a team. became a dentist.   Those are some pretty big milestones and to be proud of yourself and then to figure out how we can start to do this every single day and to train that muscle. ⁓ I know this sounds fluffy and I know this sounds woo woo and I know this sounds like I'm not doing that. I would just encourage you to try to figure out one, where's the root and what are the one or two things that are really keeping you back. Then two, what's your success ladder and how can we make success more achievable rather than further away?   And then three, can we rewire that and make it to where we are continually writing who we want to become? ⁓ Another great quote by Tony Robbins, I tell you, it just comes to me constantly. He says, are you the creator of your life or the manager of your circumstances? And I think by all these things I've talked about today on the podcast, this is helping you be the creator of your life, not the manager of your circumstances. You're creating the success you want. You're creating the identity that you want. You're creating the person you want to be.   And if it's tricky for you, reach out like I have literally there's a client, Corey. I'll actually say his real name. I know he listens to the podcast periodically. Uh, and I know he's an amazing human and Corey will tell you that I have done these exercises with him and we joke about it, but he and I have such a close relationship. And I'm like, it's because we saw the real raw versions of each other. We created these new pieces. We celebrate the wins together. We don't allow each other to get into these darker holes. We remind each other like   It's accountability buddies on living our best life. And so for you, get the identity right, redefine your success metric, measuring thing, and then retrain your brain and the words you say to where hopefully in six months from now, when we come back to this, you can say, just like I can say, I'm not perfect. And I literally was able to let go of so much of the comparison that used to suffocate me from the joy of life that used to rob me from that.   and to not have it be obsessive. Now there's other obsessive things that will come up, but at least that one I feel is tempered, is tamed, is not there as much and being able to bring that on. So for you, you already are enough. gosh, like if you could look back at who you were when you were 10 and then tell them who you'd be today, I you'd be shocked and so proud of that. If you could think of like a little child, think of yourself that way and like, you're not going to tell that kid like, hey, freaking walk already, like stop crawling.   You'd be so proud of them, of the little milestones. And we celebrate children. And I feel like let's celebrate ourselves as adults. Let's change that if we can. Let's create a different path. Let's create a different model. That way you can thrive. And really, truly leading from the truth that you are enough, not the insecurity of that. I believe that this, like doing this is just as important as systems and strategy. I believe that doing the inner work makes you the   The boss, the leader that your practice, your team and your patients need you to be. And it's not fluff and it's not that. So don't skip this inner work. ⁓ And I'm happy to help you share this with someone that you know, needs to hear that they are enough ⁓ that you're doing better than you think you are. That your success is so freaking amazing. It doesn't matter what other people are doing. We look at other people for examples, if it's what we choose to do, but we're so committed to living our best lives and the best version of ourselves.   ⁓ I only use other people as an example of what's possible, not of a comparison of what I'm not doing. And for you, whatever it is for you, truly, let's help you achieve that. And if I can be a cheerleader in your back corner, if I can be like a little Jiminy cricket on your shoulder, if our team can help you, this really truly is a zone for you to look to see where is it coming from? What can I change? How can I make it easier to feel successful today and that I am enough today? And then reinforcing that with daily habits.   It sounds so silly, but I promise you the fastest, the strongest force in the human nature is the need to stay consistent with who you believe you are, not who you actually are. So let's change that belief. Let's change that identity and help you get the happiness that you deserve. This is something I'm very passionate about, something that I love so much. And I'm so grateful to be able to chat with you guys on the podcast. So reach out if I can help in any way. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on The Dental A Team podcast.

In this candid and relatable episode, Travis and his producer Eric share personal experiences about starting in podcasting and content creation while grappling with imposter syndrome. They discuss how it's okay not to be an expert at first and how interviewing others can be a powerful way to create valuable content. Travis reflects on his own journey starting solo and the benefits of learning from others. They explore how comparison can either motivate or hold you back and emphasize the importance of embracing the learning curve, persisting through early struggles, and getting addicted to progress rather than perfection. On this episode we talk about: The challenges of feeling qualified to share your perspective early in content creation.​ How podcasting allows you to start by interviewing experts and grow your voice over time.​ The difference between writing a book and creating content in terms of commitment and flexibility.​ The dangers of comparison and how to use it as inspiration rather than a source of discouragement.​ The value of embracing imperfection and expecting to "suck" initially as part of mastery.​ Mentality shifts to get addicted to progress, even the small wins, in any skill-building journey.​ Top 3 Takeaways 1.  You don't need to be an expert to start creating meaningful content—just start somewhere.​2.  Interviewing and sharing others' expertise can provide immediate value to your audience.​3.  Expect initial failures and imperfections as a natural and necessary part of growth.​ Notable Quotes   "Just start putting stuff out there—you'll learn quickly what holds water and what doesn't."​   "Comparison should kick you forward, not kick you down."​   "If you don't suck at the start, you should have started years ago."​ Connect with Travis Makes Money:   Website: travischappell.com​   Instagram: @travischappell​   YouTube: Travis Makes Money​

If you've been telling yourself you have “imposter syndrome,” this episode is going to rewire that narrative completely. Because what you're feeling isn't a diagnosis  it's a self-belief wound you inherited from childhood, trauma, or years of internalizing other people's projections.In today's Proper Madness episode, Sabi breaks down why so many of us cling to the label imposter syndrome when the truth is simpler, harder, and more liberating: You don't trust yourself… yet.Inside this conversation, we explore:Why imposter syndrome is often an escape hatch from facing your real beliefsHow childhood conditioning shapes self-trustThe difference between paranoia, intuition, and discernmentWhy your body often knows the truth before your mind doesHow comparison + perfectionism fuel low self-worthWhat it actually takes to build unshakeable self-beliefReal stories from Sabi's healing journey (addiction, identity, trauma, authenticity)If you've been struggling with self-doubt, fear of being seen, or constantly chasing validation outside of yourself — this episode will meet you exactly where you are.You're not an imposter. You're just unplugging from the beliefs that were never yours. And you're allowed to become the version of you who finally trusts your own voice.

In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Graham Kuhn, founder of Focus Films and strategic video storytelling expert, to unpack what actually makes business videos convert on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Graham breaks down why most polished videos flop, how authenticity builds trust at scale, and why your story will always outperform a perfect script. He shares the exact mindset shift that helped him move from “video guy at church” to trusted partner for national brands, and how he uses one two hour shoot to create a full year of content that keeps working while you sleep. If you are an entrepreneur, coach or creator who hates being on camera or feels like a fraud when you hit record, this episode gives you a direct, fluff free roadmap to show up real, use video as a mirror and turn your story into a strategic asset across every social platform.   About the Guest: Graham Kuhn is the founder of Focus Films, a video strategy agency that helps service based businesses turn authentic storytelling into revenue. Raised in a blue collar farm town and trained in music and opera, Graham blends work ethic, emotional intelligence and sales psychology to craft videos that actually move people to action. He is known for brand story videos that double conversations, shorten sales cycles and make brands feel human   Key Takeaways  :   Authenticity beats polish. Scripted, robotic videos feel salesy on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Real conversation and honest emotion are what build trust and keep people watching. Your story is your unfair advantage. As Graham puts it, you escape competition through authenticity. No one can compete with you being you, so your lived experience is the core of your brand strategy. Imposter syndrome is data, not a verdict. Feeling like a fraud often means you care about delivering real value. Confidence grows through action, results and remembering that you know more about your craft than your clients do. Batch content is the sustainable play. A single one to two hour shoot can become a hero brand story video plus a year of repurposed clips for Reels, Shorts and LinkedIn posts, which stops the constant content hamster wheel. AI raises the bar for human connection. As AI generated visuals and captions flood feeds, human, imperfect, vulnerable storytelling becomes the standout differentiator across platforms. People buy presence, not production. Viewers are not looking for perfect lighting. They are looking for a real person who understands their problem and speaks from lived experience.   Connect with the Guest  : Listeners can connect with Graham Kuhn here.

Do you ever feel like a fraud? You aren’t alone! In the late 1970s two researchers identified “imposter syndrome” as the condition of doubting one’s skills, talents, or abilities and interpreting ourselves as a fraud. Even successful and brilliant people struggle with inadequacy, worrying that if anyone peeked behind the curtain of their lives, they’d see how much they don’t know. Paul exhorts the people of the first-century church in Rome to be humble. “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment” (Romans 12:3). We understand the importance of not elevating our abilities. But when we doubt our own value, we go too far, robbing others of the gifts God wants us to use to serve Him. To think of ourselves with “sober judgment” (v. 3) is to have a sane estimation—a realistic regard—for what we offer. Paul nudges us to overcome our hesitancies, to embrace who we are “in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you” (v. 3). In this way, God’s body of believers may be built up (vv. 4–8). Rather than degrading our offerings with imposter syndrome, let’s embrace God’s giftings within us. By gratefully accepting God’s grace, we can think neither too highly nor too lowly of ourselves. In doing so, we please our Father and build up His body of believers.

The agency has existed for over 20 years, but now operates as a masked force. Imposters posing as agents have committed crimes such as kidnapping and sexual assault.
