How to overcome imposter syndrome

In this fake episode of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Micah Hoffman joins me to discuss imposter syndrome.

Micah (@WebBreacher), this past year, spoke on imposter syndrome and how to overcome it. It's something we all deal with (even several years into our careers). It's useful, but also dangerous for those of us in the information security community. We need to try and compare ourselves to others less and speak more positively internally.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What is imposter syndrome?

  • Why people get imposter syndrome.

  • How to overcome imposer syndrome.

  • Stick around until the end to hear some real imposter syndrome.
