And I'm going to say this, and you may smack me after I say this, so please be prepared.
If it was me and I went from kind of building my own podcast up and then going to something like the combine and I'm standing next to somebody who I've watched on TV for years, I feel like imposter syndrome would kind of creep in.
You don't have to really work this job very long to get over, like, the celebrity thing.
And they're, like, they see somebody, they're dying to take a picture, they're dying to say hello.
They get all cotton-mouthed around the guy because, you know, they don't know what to say.
But especially working in this job, like... you become very numb to, hey, that's Sean Payton in the corner.
It's just like exposure, and it's a blessing to have that opportunity, obviously.
But when you get over the celebrity ogling, you don't quickly get over the imposter syndrome, because then you start comparing yourself from a professional standpoint to these people, and it's like...
You just don't compare to some of these folks or the setup that they have or the team that they have or the money that they have or the years of experience and knowledge that they have.
That's why the most successful people in sports media are the most delusional people in sports media because you just convince yourself that you know what you're doing.
It is one of those things that you just have to meditate on yourself to say, I'm going to be honest with myself to know what I know and to be honest about what I don't know and to trust what I'm good at and to be aware of what I'm not good at and lean on the people that I know are good at the things that I'm not good at and surround myself with a village of people that I know I can lean on to be the best person that I can be and be as authentic to the people that I'm delivering content to as I can be and let the rest figure itself out.
