12 Mar 2023 Lenny's Podcast Hot takes and techno-optimism from tech’s top power couple | Sriram and Aarthi
“Imposter syndrome is so real, it is so gut-wrenchingly real that it's not just every one person, it's most people I think.

I've realized over time that everyone is deeply feeling as if they're imposters and we talked about this. Imposter syndrome is so real, it is so gut-wrenchingly real that it's not just every one person, it's most people I think. So to be able to overcome that threshold and look at your amazing peers and your seniors and everybody else and then still be able to put yourself out there, I think we have to really appreciate that and help them go iterate and just get better over time.
