Caring too much about what others think will shrink your leadership, steal your courage, and keep you from making the impact you’re meant to make. In this episode, Clay and Adam unpack why approval addiction is so common—and so costly and give you three practical ways to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction. You’ll learn how to filter feedback, clarify your values, and build real confidence through action.

If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself, overthinking every decision, or leading for applause instead of impact—this one’s for you.
