Over 70% of professionals say they've struggled with imposter syndrome at some point in their career.
In this episode, Darrell and Brandon sit down with Bryan Fittin, CEO and founder of Go Rogue Studio. Bryan shares how he felt like a fraud leading a team of 40 at 25 years old, and why the feeling didn't go away even after landing Walmart as a client.
Together they talk about how imposter syndrome shows up at every stage of a career, why it isolates us, and how Christian professionals can respond through practical tools and a clearer picture of God's posture toward them. The tools include naming your inner critic, seeking small wins, and practicing gratitude.
