In this thought-provoking episode, we explore Ankur Shiv Bhandari’s powerful blog of the same name, challenging the performative checklist culture that surrounds credibility today. With references ranging from The Greatest Showman to real-world leadership experiences, Ankur unpacks how authenticity isn’t something you perform, it’s something you return to.
Because true credibility doesn’t come from sounding perfect. It comes from sounding real.
From the traps of polished pretence to the quiet power of showing up as your full, unfiltered self, this episode is a timely reminder that the skin you’re in is more than enough.
"We’re not here to fit a mould. We’re here to shed it."
