"You don’t have to have all the answers. But you do have to be passionate about what you’re doing." – Bennie Fowler Imposter syndrome can creep in when we feel like we’re not enough. But here’s the truth: none of us started as experts. Every great success story begins with questions, learning, and a relentless passion to grow.

Confidence doesn’t come from pretending; it comes from engaging fully with the process. So today, lean into your passion and embrace being a student of the game.
