Summary of Podcast

Introductions and book announcement

  • Graham and Kevin welcome back returning guest Susana Serrano-Davey, who has written a new book called “Confidence is Overrated” that will be released in March.
  • Susana explains that the book challenges the traditional view of confidence and explores how to feel more at ease with oneself even without constant self-confidence.

Defining confidence and imposter syndrome

  • Susana delves deeper into her perspective on confidence, distinguishing it from self-esteem and imposter syndrome.
  • She shares her own journey of not always feeling confident, and how she has learned to be more at peace with herself even in moments of self-doubt.

Challenging beliefs and finding courage

  • The example of Malala Yousafzai was used to illustrate how challenging one’s cultural and personal beliefs can lead to finding the courage to do things previously thought impossible.
  • The importance of being open to new possibilities beyond one’s career and preconceptions.

Enjoying the journey and finding inner peace

  • Susana explains that her goal is for readers to enjoy the book, connect with her personal stories, and be inspired to reflect on their own lives and values.
  • Her ultimate aim is to help people find a sense of inner peace and contentment, rather than constantly chasing confidence or external markers of success.

Reflecting on the podcast journey

  • In the closing discussion, Graham and Kevin reflect on their own journey of starting the podcast 450 episodes ago, when they had little confidence but took the leap anyway.
  • They discuss how the podcast has evolved and the value of continuing to do it, even if it means letting go of reaching a specific milestone.
