Episode 30

Suraj Sodha | How I found an upside to impostor syndrome

I was lucky enough to have my friend Suraj agree to be a guest and the conversation we had proved to me that it was a very wise decision.

We first met back in our days of being trained in Neurolinguistic Programming, hypnosis and presentation skills for public speaking among other things. Suraj has always been incredibly kind and generous with his time and his knowledge and he shares a lot of great insights and personal experience in this episode.

I first knew Suraj as being a marketer and teaching online marketing and social media marketing. He runs one of the largest and most successful meetup groups in London for Entrepreneurs, called Entrepreneur Jam. He's spoken internationally to corporate and general audiences on a variety of topics, he has his own podcast called The Entrepreneur Jam Podcast and he embarked on a physical transformation a little over a year ago, going from being a slightly chubby guy to becoming insanely ripped and fitness magazine cover star material.

We talk about highs and lows, what he's working on now and how Suraj values impostor syndrome and gets it working for his benefit.

Don't miss this fun and engaging chat with an incredible entrepreneur and truly authentic guy.

You can connect with him on Linked In (but be sure to send a message with the request)

Suraj's book recommendation is The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann. I recommend checking out their website too https://thegogiver.com/
