Description

“You’ll be judged no matter what you do.”
“No one is coming to save you.”
“Most people secretly want you to fail.”

We’ve all heard the so-called hard truths about success—but are they actually true?

In this special Career Confidential edition of the Becoming You podcast, host Suzy Welch and her inimitable, sometimes-cohost Dustin Liu—associate director of the Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing—put twenty of life’s toughest “truths” on trial. One by one, they debate whether these cynical mantras are wisdom… or just noise.

It’s fast, funny, and fiercely honest—a lightning round of reality checks that might just change how you think about work, ambition, and what it really means to become you.
