In this episode, we unpack the fine line between projecting confidence and crossing into deception. Inspired by the recent controversy surrounding The Newsette founder Daniella Pierson, we explore why every entrepreneur feels pressure to “look bigger” than they are—and why honesty is always the smarter long-term strategy. You’ll learn how to share your vision in a way that excites investors and partners without misrepresenting your current reality. We also share practical tips for building credibility, winning trust, and growing from zero without losing integrity along the way.
