In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we take a sweeping look at the mindsets that undermine our confidence in the workplace. My guest, Jason Frishman, founder of Netcapital and my fellow TEDxBabsonCollege speaker, shares his story of impostor syndrome and how he has navigated self-doubt as a young start-up founder. He also shares powerful insights, rooted in his neuroscience background, that can help all of us better manage self-doubt at work.
