EPISODE SUMMARY

Everyone's talking about tools, tech, and the latest growth hacks.

But the real reason some people become the go-to in their space — while others stay overlooked — comes down to one thing:

A decision.

This episode dives into the invisible shift that separates high-trust leaders from high-effort ones — and why most people never make it.

Whether you're sitting on strong IP, feeling stalled despite doing everything "right," or second-guessing your next move… this one's for you.


In this episode, we unpack:

  • Why success often stalls at the edge of confidence — not capability

  • How the Dunning-Kruger effect shows up [especially as you get better]

  • The science of identity-based decisions — and why they stick

  • A story of a senior exec who was invisible internally [and what we did about it]

  • Why my own book hit pause — and what got it back on track

  • What actually builds visibility that earns trust in 2025
