James A. Winnefeld Jr.

So hopefully, um, hopefully you like it, but you know, last week we talked to an amazing individual.

Admiral Sandy Winnefeld, four-star admiral, vice chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Top Gun instructor, you know, pilot, you know, you just think about and, and, and, and, and, and.

And I would just tell you, just an amazing conversation.

Some of the, really some of the best lessons in leadership.

You're going around, you're seeing, you know, all these buildings and all these great accomplishments and things that people have done.

And, you know, if I'm being honest, you know, sometimes when you're around super highly successful people or people that have, you know, achieved so much more in perception than maybe what you have, I think we all can have a little bit of a sense of imposter syndrome.

Like, do I belong here? Am I worthy to sit here and have a conversation with Sandy Winnefeld? You know, am I worthy to be creating a business or to be leading a team of doing these things? And you know, it's very common for a lot of us, especially if you're competitive by nature, like you want to be the best, you want to be, you know, succeed, you want to make the most money, you want to lead the biggest team, like you want to do these things.

And so we can find ourselves as leaders, oftentimes, having this feeling of imposter syndrome, like, do I belong here? Am I in the crowd that I need to be around? And especially if you spend a lot of time around highly successful people, it can lead you feeling sometimes a little bit subpar, like, oh my gosh, like, How am I ever going to stack up to those individuals? So I want to talk about that a little bit today because I've experienced it throughout my life.
