In this interview segment, Bradley Hamner reacts to the phrase “letting the shackles of approval go,” noting its impact as a memorable one‑liner and adding it to his personal 2024 lessons‑learned log. He then raises a broader question about how identity functions for a business owner, entrepreneur, and performer. Bradley also shares a mantra from his small group—“I can be”—which he uses to acknowledge the fluid nature of his confidence, allowing himself to feel both confident and not confident in different moments. The conversation highlights personal growth insights, the challenge of defining professional identity, and a practical mental framework for managing confidence fluctuations.

Chapters

I about choked on my drink when I heard you say letting the shackles of approval go. I was like, oh my goodness, what a one-liner. I am putting that— I have a log of lessons learned that I have, they're one-liners, quotes, et cetera, that I learned throughout the year. That is going in the 2024 log of lessons learned. That is fantastic. Second thing, and I'll come back around to that because I've got a question around identity as a business owner, entrepreneur, and performance. But before I get there, in my small group, somebody— one of the men in my small group shared with me about a year, maybe 2 years ago, is this saying, "I can be." And so in other words, if somebody says, you know, Bradley, you come across as confident, "I can be." So when you said sometimes, I was thinking to myself, I can be confident. I, I can do this. I can do that. And I can also be very not confident.
