BreClarkTV
A talk-show about imposter syndrome - what it is, who deals with it, and how to overcome it. Sit down with our host, Bre Clark, as she unmasks the imposter phenomenon with experts and influencers. They dive deep into what it really means to embrace the real deal when you feel like a fraud!
You know those confident people that you meet? The ones who are just… so excited about life? What if I told you many of them suffer from imposter syndrome? That’s the thing about the imposter phenomenon, it leaves many people believing they are the only ones with these thoughts and feelings.
In this episode of The Real Deal, Bre Clark sits down with Billy Floyd to talk about how he stays “locked in” to beat imposter feelings.
Billy started his career as broadcast journalist taking after his father and grandfather’s footsteps. He would soon take off on his own to be the podcast host of "Who's On The News". He’s also broken into motivational speaking and the music business - he even freestyle raps motivational messages. You’ll often find him in New York driving around with his windows down dishing out compliments! Billy says his number one pet peeve is people doubting themselves. His time in the media has given him a front row seat to how imposter syndrome impacts most people within the industry.
Billy unmasks:
-
That men experience imposter syndrome too.
-
The only difference is how they deal with it.
-
The permission he gives himself to be confident and pursue success.
