Because the ego and the identity of the person who founded it is so interwoven with the actions or what that business reflects about them that... They're trying to keep it in a way that keeps their identity the way they want it to be. So what ends up happening is that our identity gets reduced to our biography. You know, you got a biography on me.

People at the beginning of the show heard about me. I'm not that. I'm not that. If I were to describe myself as that, it would feel like it's another person. But yet we need certain terms and containers.

to explain it so you're a coach okay great now i get a sense of who you are but you're so much more than that you're bringing your whole lived experience into it so it's fine to have these sort of monikers of who we are as people because we need that to make allow people to have a reference point of who we are and what we do but my days it's very dangerous if you think that you are that if you allow your identity become wrapped up on that you become very weak

And from what I see, there's very little self-confidence. There's a lot of survival, no matter how many millions you have in the bank. And it doesn't have to be that way.

And I would say, from my observation, I would say confidence is a sort of emergent thing. You don't craft confidence. Confidence sort of emerges, and it merges through your view of yourself and the evidence that this view of yourself is being reinforced. So you can also be very confident that you can't do something.

you know you it's it's a certainty it's a certainty of something it's a certainty of your capabilities and your powers which can be that it's a certainty that you can move towards something or it's equally a certainty that you cannot because it's been evidenced so many times before so my interest more so is because there's many environments that i go into with very little confidence that i can do it but i have confidence that i can find a way i have confidence that i'll be able to

be in the uncertainty or the discomfort of it. And I'll move through it because that's something that I have evidence of. I'm much more interested in, I suppose, expanding people's sense of value and worth beyond just their actions.

So for example, something that we're going to be launching relatively soon with Hara, which I now realize is so needed and so important, is so many of the companies that I speak to, whether it's the CEO or it's an intern, are feeling immensely overwhelmed.

Now, this overwhelm is coming because of the amount of information and the amount of things that we feel that we should know, the amount of communication. There was one gentleman that I spoke with in Dallas at a conference a couple of weeks ago, and he told me he gets about 480 emails a day. Like, that's such an insane quantity. That's beyond a full-time job, just filtering through that every day.

But why does this happen? Why are these tools that were meant to liberate us and free us to do the work that was most important, why are they becoming the things that are holding everybody back? Because it's a total distraction. Now, you could say it's in the design, and there's a truth to that. There's a design of a desire for engagement. That's how these products measure their value.
