In this YouTube short, host Stephen Scoggins introduces Rhonda Kitch, president of MentorBox and host of the Unfiltered podcast. Rhonda reflects on feeling like an imposter when surrounded by symbols of wealth—sports cars, jets, homes that aren’t hers—and questions why it’s hard to simply say she’s “doing okay.” She challenges conventional definitions of success that focus solely on money, arguing that true success can be personal growth, being a good spouse or parent, and authenticity. Drawing on two decades of experience teaching founders, she emphasizes that fundability stems from visibility plus credibility, not just follower counts. Rhonda urges listeners to practice due diligence, avoid sharing too much without protecting ideas, and to set firm boundaries when conversations turn self‑serving, exemplified by cutting off interactions that begin with “what’s in it for me?” The clip blends personal vulnerability with practical advice for entrepreneurs and leaders.

You're standing in front of a sports car, you're standing in front of a jet, you are standing in front of a beautiful home that's not yours. You're an imposter. Why is it so difficult to just say, I'm doing okay?
Our special guest today spent 2 decades closing tables in capital rooms, teaching founders that visibility plus credibility equals fundability. Rhonda Kitch is the president of MentorBox, a strategic advisor, and the host of the Unfiltered podcast.
Whoever's listening, please do your due diligence. Mm-hmm. People are afraid to ask They think because they're a leader or they have followers, they're defining success. Wrong. Nobody can say you're successful because you've made a certain amount of money. Maybe my success, my personal success and growth is not about money. It's about being a good wife or a good mother. One of my biggest mistakes was sharing too much and then thinking that other people would not take my information or my ideas. If she can do it, I can do it better. When there is a level of failure by somebody who did something inauthentic, Mm-hmm. To their brand. You deserve that. Think about all the times I have to end a conversation very quickly because the first question they say is, this sounds nice, Rhonda, but what's in it for me? Oh, I'm sorry, we're done.
