OoM 065: Your Ego is Your Enemy with Ryan Holiday

June 14, 2016 //  by Ryan Michler

Many of us, as men, believe we need to have it all figured out in order for us to be successful. It’s the old adage, “Fake it ’til you make it.”

And, while confidence is certainly something you’ll need to gain in order to have success, the fine line between it and ego has the ability to destroy it. My guest today, the one and only Ryan Holiday shares how confidence is earned while ego isn’t, the dangers and pitfalls of an inflated ego, and how to get out of your own way.

“Confidence is based on knowing you’ve done the work.” Tweet That— Ryan Holiday
