In this illuminating episode of The Morning Jolt, we delve deep into the heart of what it means to build unshakeable confidence and overcome the pervasive shadow of imposter syndrome that many entrepreneurs, small business owners, and executives face.

  • The Pitfalls of Comparison: Delve into research from Cornell University, highlighting the detrimental effects of social comparison on mental health and self-esteem. This segment is a call to focus on personal growth and celebrate individual achievements, no matter how small.
