Ep. #887: Alex Banayan on Imposter Syndrome, Clarity Challenge, and More

In this podcast, I’m once again chatting with Alex Banayan, but this time, I fielded questions from my followers over on Instagram all about mindset, success, and achieving your dreams.

In case you missed my first chat with Alex and you’re not familiar with him, his book The Third Door, which is all about his 7-year journey to interview some of the most successful people in the world, has made him the youngest bestselling business author in American history, and the book is a number one international bestseller.

He’s been named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list and Business Insider’s “Most Powerful People Under 30,” and been featured in Fortune, CNBC, Businessweek, The Washington Post, MSNBC, Fox News, and NBC News.

In this discussion, Alex and I talk about . . .

• How to deal with friends and family who are dismissive and negative about your goals and dreams
• The best way to deal with imposter syndrome (and why you shouldn’t worry about it)
• Why honesty and integrity matter more than you think
• His 30-day clarity challenge, which is a tool to gain awareness so you can plan where you’re going. (A description of the challenge is also linked in the show notes.)
• When quitting and giving up on a goal might be appropriate
• And more . . .

So if you want to hear some of our thoughts on chasing your dreams and how to develop the mindset necessary for success, don’t miss this interview! And if you enjoyed the discussion, don’t forget to check out my first interview with Alex.
