What does it mean to truly be confident versus merely acting the part? Timothy Born joins us today to share his experience as we explore the key differences between genuine self-assurance and the appearance of confidence.

From ego built self esteem to truly understanding confidence from within himself.

In this episode, we uncover his story of growing up almost always alone, figuring out life by himself as young as 7 years old which are all experiences that influenced his journey to discover true confidence.

Tune in to hear his amazing story which started back in East Germany, from:
╰ Standing up to bullies
╰ Navigating life alone
╰ working through an ego that manipulated his reality
╰ An interview that broke down his confidence mask

It’s amazing to hear Tim’s story and where he is now. Running MindCom to help others become a better and more confidence & mindful communicator.

Whether you're looking to boost your own confidence or understand it better in your relationships, this episode will share valuable perspectives and maybe a journey you can relate to.
