Just be yourself: the best and worst advice

Note: the website is oriontaraban.ai and the service is not available on iMessage. I'll be making a new promo soon. Is just be yourself good advice? In today's episode, I explain why authenticity only works after disciplined self-development has generated competence, confidence, and results. The truth is that becoming who you want to be generally requires first trying to be someone you're not. This is why “just be yourself” is both the best and worst advice: its relevance depends on which stage of becoming you are currently in. Join my community: The Captains' Quarters.
