In this podcast episode, Holly Tucker, co-founder of Not On The High Street and UK Ambassador to Small Creative Businesses, shares her journey of transforming her imposter syndrome into a superpower. She emphasizes that certain feelings, often perceived as negative, can be reframed and utilized as strengths. For instance, Holly, who is dyslexic, initially believed she couldn't write. However, she challenged this notion and began writing daily on Instagram for four years. This practice, driven by her imposter syndrome, helped her improve her writing skills and overcome her self-doubt.

Holly acknowledges that imposter syndrome can keep one grounded and motivated to be the best version of themselves. She highlights the importance of research, preparation, and seeking feedback to ensure the delivery of high-quality work. By embracing her imposter syndrome as a blessing or superpower, Holly has been able to achieve success in her entrepreneurial endeavors.

The podcast also promotes the High Performance book, which offers lessons from top performers to help individuals achieve personal growth and transformation. The book is available in all good bookshops.

[00:00.000 -> 00:05.200] As a person with a very deep voice, I'm hired all the time for advertising campaigns.
[00:05.200 -> 00:10.880] But a deep voice doesn't sell B2B, and advertising on the wrong platform doesn't sell B2B either.
[00:10.880 -> 00:14.720] That's why if you're a B2B marketer, you should use LinkedIn ads.
[00:14.720 -> 00:19.920] LinkedIn has the targeting capabilities to help you reach the world's largest professional audience.
[00:19.920 -> 00:24.080] That's right, over 70 million decision makers all in one place.
[00:24.080 -> 00:26.840] All the bigwigs and mediumwigs.
[00:26.840 -> 00:29.520] Also smallwigs who are on the path to becoming bigwigs.
[00:29.520 -> 00:31.760] Okay, that's enough about wigs.
[00:31.760 -> 00:36.200] LinkedIn ads allows you to focus on getting your B2B message to the right people.
[00:36.200 -> 00:41.360] So does that mean you should use ads on LinkedIn instead of hiring me, the man with the deepest
[00:41.360 -> 00:42.840] voice in the world?
[00:42.840 -> 00:44.960] Yes, yes it does.
[00:44.960 -> 00:47.000] Get started today and see why LinkedIn
[00:47.000 -> 00:49.440] is the place to be, to be.
[00:49.440 -> 00:52.720] We'll even give you a $100 credit on your next campaign.
[00:52.720 -> 00:55.880] Go to linkedin.com slash results to claim your credit.
[00:55.880 -> 00:58.180] That's linkedin.com slash results.
[00:58.180 -> 00:59.560] Terms and conditions apply.
[01:02.560 -> 01:04.720] On our podcast, we love to highlight businesses
[01:04.720 -> 01:06.540] that are doing things a better way so you
[01:06.540 -> 01:11.600] can live a better life and that's why when I found Mint Mobile I had to share.
[01:11.600 -> 01:16.280] So Mint Mobile ditched retail stores and all those overhead costs and instead sells their
[01:16.280 -> 01:19.680] phone plans online and passes those savings to you.
[01:19.680 -> 01:23.880] And for a limited time they're passing on even more savings with a new customer offer
[01:23.880 -> 01:29.880] that cuts all Mint Mobile plans to $15 a month when you purchase a 3 month plan.
[01:29.880 -> 01:36.280] That's unlimited talk, text and data for $15 a month.
[01:36.280 -> 01:41.120] And by the way, the quality of Mint Mobile's wireless service in comparison to providers
[01:41.120 -> 01:44.040] that we've worked with before is incredible.
[01:44.040 -> 01:46.320] Mint Mobile is here to rescue you
[01:46.320 -> 01:49.200] with premium wireless plans for 15 bucks a month.
[01:49.200 -> 01:51.960] So say goodbye to your overpriced wireless plans,
[01:51.960 -> 01:53.680] those jaw-dropping monthly bills,
[01:53.680 -> 01:55.600] those unexpected overages,
[01:55.600 -> 01:58.120] because all the plans come with unlimited talk and text
[01:58.120 -> 01:59.520] and high-speed data
[01:59.520 -> 02:02.680] delivered on the nation's largest 5G network.
[02:02.680 -> 02:05.720] Use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan, bring your
[02:05.720 -> 02:08.820] phone number along with all your existing contacts.
[02:08.820 -> 02:13.440] So ditch overpriced wireless with Mint Mobile's limited time deal and get premium wireless
[02:13.440 -> 02:19.400] service for just $15 a month. To get this new customer offer and your new 3 month unlimited
[02:19.400 -> 02:25.480] wireless plan for just $15 a month, go to mintmobile.com.hpp. That's mintmobile.com slash HPP that's mint

[03:19.120 -> 03:21.420] Here's today's bite-sized episode
[03:21.420 -> 03:23.180] of the High Performance Podcast.
[03:24.960 -> 03:28.600] I don't think some of these things that we feel are necessarily always negative.
[03:28.600 -> 03:31.640] It's the way that we've maybe been told to feel about them.
[03:31.640 -> 03:32.640] So for me...
[03:32.640 -> 03:33.640] Maybe you need it.
[03:33.640 -> 03:34.640] Yeah, I absolutely.
[03:34.640 -> 03:41.360] I'm dyslexic and I've only started writing four years ago, three years ago on my Instagram
[03:41.360 -> 03:44.320] every single day for four years now.
[03:44.320 -> 03:46.800] And I never thought that I could write, you know, ers ychydig flwyddyn. A dwi ddim yn meddwl y gallaf ysgrifennu.
[03:46.800 -> 03:49.200] Dwi'n cael fy nghyfrodd, dwi ddim yn meddwl y gallaf ysgrifennu.
[03:49.200 -> 03:50.800] Ac felly, cymaint o'r amser,
[03:50.800 -> 03:53.800] 39 oed, i ddechrau ysgrifennu.
[03:53.800 -> 03:56.800] Ac os nad oedd gen i syndrome ymdrech,
[03:56.800 -> 03:59.360] byddai'n golygu na fyddwn i ddim yn dod,
[03:59.360 -> 04:03.040] tripl, quadruple, chefnogi popeth y gwnawn i ysgrifennu.
[04:03.040 -> 04:06.380] Popeth y gwnawn i ei wneud, rwy'n ymchwilio ac yn paratoi. Could Drupal check everything that I write, you know everything that I go and do I research and prepare
[04:06.900 -> 04:08.320] I find
[04:08.320 -> 04:11.300] do you mean and so I actually call it a
[04:12.000 -> 04:16.980] Blessing a sort of a super strength because not only do I think it's going to keep me grounded
[04:17.800 -> 04:23.220] But it's also going to always make sure that I'm the best version that I can be
