walk into any start-up environment, and you’ll hear imposter syndrome is the Great Enemy, the Ghost at the Feast of wantrepreneurial mastery. My problem with the ‘find your true authentic self’ stuff is that neruoscience suggests we have multiple selfs (cf “The Divided Self”), so imposter syndrome is probably something we just have to learn to live with.

29 yikes I am worth the same as Boris. That’s a let down.
