Is confidence something you're born with or something you build? Alex, Shane, and Ravi challenge the stereotype of the naturally confident leader through raw stories of their own moments of self-doubt. The conversation speaks to the surprising truth that many top athletes and business leaders experience profound insecurity, but what sets them apart is their ability to grow confidence through deliberate practice. Learn how elite performers actually build unshakeable confidence, not from some innate superpower, but through specific actions that anyone can learn.
