BRAND TO FAN SHOW

with Lauren Teague

Breaking Free from the Trap of Success (aka Imposter Syndrome)

Allow me to introduce the latest episode of the Brand to Fan Show featuring bestselling author, Laura Gassner Otting. As someone who has found myself in Wonderhell time and time again, I couldn't wait to sit down with Laura to discuss how to find fulfillment in our careers while navigating this phenomenon.

We almost ran out of time to record this episode because Laura spent the first half of the call with her coaching hat on helping me get out of a founders funk about FanWagn. Yep, I’m squarely in Wonderhell these days.

What is Wonderhell?

Wonderhell is that feeling of achieving success, but still feeling unfulfilled in your personal and professional life. It's a trap that so many of us fall into, but (thankfully) Laura has the insights to help us break free. Her new book is a must-read for anyone who has felt like an imposter or realized that there are no true ceilings, only new ground floors.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF FANWEAR??

Oh, gosh! I have a Red Sox baseball cap from 1986. I grew up in Miami, but I have been a fan of the Red Sox since 1986. I moved to Boston in 1993, but there was a boy in my tenth grade class. His name was Adam, who was a big Red Sox fan, and I was a big fan of Adam.

I had a huge crush on him, and he was a fan of the Red Sox. The Red Sox played the Yankees and I watched every game in the World series. Not only do I have a hat from 1986. I have the original like Boston Red Sox broken heart. So I feel like i'm a true fan!
