The Truth About Imposter Syndrome – MTP425

  1. The Truth About Imposter Syndrome - MTP425 Scot McKay 46:12

Co-Hosts Anne Dranitsaris and Heather Hilliard (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/caliber) Today we’re covering a topic that virtually EVERY man experiences. And weirdly, if EVERY man experiences it, NONE of us have any business experiencing it. I have to be referring to ye olde imposter syndrome, of course. My returning guests Anne and Heather from Canada have literally written the book on the subject and break it down in detail like you’ve never heard before. So why does every one of us typically think there’s something wrong with ourselves that disqualifies us from success? I mean, if not us, then who? This insidious phenomenon rears it ugly head not only when we’re approaching and relating to women, but in our careers and social lives as well. So what’s up with the rumor that even ‘average’ women won’t settle for anyone less than the perfect man? And how are we supposed to feel when we apply to like three dozen jobs on Indeed or ZipRecruiter that are absolutely perfect for us…but only get crickets in return? I mean, it’s easy to believe there really IS something wrong with us under those circumstances, isn’t it? What if you actually DO try but indeed fail spectacularly? And also, what if so-called ‘rejection’ isnt’ really about you? Well, according to Anne and Heather, we as humans tend to pathologize situations that are absolutely normal, which has a way of making even relatively small make or break situations feel massive. So where’s the balance between humility and utter lack of effective self-concept? And how can we stop giving our power away and reclaim it as we should?

Scot McKay Dating Strategist

Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home (served by his maid), survived a shark attack while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed through California canyons with his knee on the double-yellow line at 140 mph. Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott Adams, of all people.

But despite once being mobbed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, being able to back a 30′ travel trailer into its slot on the first try, and that time he beat the World Champion at his own sport (no details provided), he’s still the most objective and down-to-earth dating expert out there.

He’s also the most fluff-free fountainhead of original content in his field, if only because that’s what seventeen years of immersive geekery on the subject does for someone.

Scot’s wife Emily is his “proof of concept”, given that she’s just as sweet as she is smokin’ hot and still gets carded at her age. But you’ll never hear her brag about any of that, only Scot.

His show The Mountain Top has also been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1 most influential Facebook user in the world.
