The only way that imposter syndrome is a problem is if you're actually being an imposter. Are you walking on stage telling people that you are the world class expert in a certain thing and that you are the ultimate authority? Are you doing that? Then you are not an imposter and then you're. Okay, guys, any of you, if you're ever concerned about facing a question from the audience you know, that you don't know the answer to, it's really simple. Repeat after me. I don't know. I don't know. That's how you handle it. You just, you just say, I don't know. Interesting question. And by the way, I want you to think about this. Let's say she asks me a really complex question about something to do with speaking or whatever, and I say to her, I don't know. And then we have an intermission or a break and I walk over to my production table and I find the answer out for her. Now what's going to be more memorable for her in the audience? That I knew the answer when she first asked it or that I went and got it for her? So you never have to worry about being an imposter as long as you're willing to say, I don't know, I'll find out.
