"Imposter Syndrome" is the story peope tell themselves. A signal that it's time to tell yourself a better story.

I like that.

...for some, we just have to convince them that it IS a story they, themselves, are telling themselves.

As storytellers if we can't tell the story of our own success then who can?

I learnt a lot from this episode and it was great to be able to finally sit down and talk with Jaime face to face.

I enjoyed our conversation a great deal, Jon. It was a joy to get to know you better...and I'd like to do that again...soon. Even if it's just to talk and brainstorm. and toss about creative ideas to feed one another.

Thank you gentlemen!

Great honesty, inspiration, & connection!

It feels like this might be a big contributor to drifting (one of your other podcasts). I can see how having an imposter syndrome could create drift.

Multipotentialite/polymath/generalist/etc., & neurodivergence, can all be major mountains to climb, when being a creative, as your putting yourself (& all our perceived inadequacies) front-and-center. It makes us stronger in the end!

This was a good read...https://ctl.stanford.edu/students/imposter-syndrome

That was one of the first videos I found when researching the topic (and I link to it in my latest post), the other article that started me on this journey of self discovery was this one by Creative Hackers https://www.creativehackers.co/posts/multipotentialite-the-happiness-dilemma
