One of the members introduced the idea of "Imposter Syndrome", and asked the rest of the community if they ever felt like a fake entrepreneur. We decided to reach out to three of the people who contributed to that discussion. <a href="https://twitter.com/tullibo" target="_blank">Brendan Tully</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/luismgil" target="_blank">Luis Gil</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/connibie" target="_blank">Conni Biesalski</a> have all joined us on this week's episode to share some of their struggles with these feelings. To our surprise, we discovered that all the conversations focused less on the idea of feeling like an imposter, and more on the general anxieties, fears and vulnerability that we all deal with in life, and can really be exacerbated by entrepreneurship on the web. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bQC05slYZzltmGDjd9JAmiduLrzjk7cT7m7j1OX2kQc/edit">Transcript</a> Listen to this week's show and learn: Why Brendan feels like internet marketing podcasts are misrepresenting what it really means to be an entrepreneur.
