In this episode, we break down why fake confidence collapses under pressure—and what real confidence actually looks like. You’ll learn the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and why believing you’re “naturally gifted” can quietly hold you back. From golden-child pressure and fear of failure, to Ivy League regret, business pivots, and thinking like a scientist, the big takeaway is simple: confidence comes from knowing you’re unfinished and willing to learn.
