## Resource

Chris and I talked about where real confidence comes from and why you cannot fake it. I shared how doing hard things builds confidence, why networking only works after you create real value, and how most people get this backwards. We also got into leadership, why you cannot delegate too early, and my honest thoughts on AI and where it actually adds value in business today.
