Valerie, say what's up to Fire Nation and share something that you believe about becoming successful that most People disagree with. I would say, John, especially related to imposter syndrome, there is this new narrative out in the entrepreneurial world that says Imposter syndrome is a good thing, it's a badge of honor, and it is our superpower. And I completely disagree with that train of thought. Fire Nation, I'm sorry, but imposter syndrome is not. You're super

power. And we'll be talking all about that today with Dr. Valer Young. So let's just get into the core, the thesis, the theme of today's interview with What exactly is Imposture syndrome. The original term John was impostor phenomenon. It was coined in 1978 by two psychologists, Pauline Clans and Suzanne Hines. And it's popularly known in the culture as impostor syndrome. But essentially what they found, and hundreds and hundreds of studies have confirmed is that a lot of people, men and women, internationally, cross-culturally, deep down have this belief that we're really not as intelligent, capable, competent, talented, qualified as everyone thinks we are, and that we have just somehow managed to fly under the radar undetected and we are going to be found out.
