In this episode, you are getting a brand new definition of #confidence.

This definition is based on research studies on how confidence is built.

Confidence is not what you think it is.

It is not a personality trait you’re born with, and it’s not reserved only for extroverts.

Confidence is a skill that anyone can master.

And today is the perfect day for you to start.

Confidence is your birthright. You can’t lose it; you just lost your connection to it.

Let’s get that back.
