This week, Peggy Meyer sits down with Albert Bramante—college professor, licensed talent agent, and expert on the psychology of self-sabotage. With over 20 years in the entertainment industry and a background in psychology, Albert shares his journey from aspiring clinical psychologist to crisis intervention work after 9/11, to becoming a professor and talent agent.
We dive deep into:
-
Why self-sabotage isn’t a flaw, but a protective mechanism
-
How fear of success and fear of failure both hold us back
-
The impact of victimhood vs. accountability on identity and growth
-
Money mindset: why creatives and helpers often struggle to charge for their work
-
Why mindset is only half the battle—action builds success
-
The importance of small steps, tribe, and accountability in creating momentum
Albert’s insights highlight how our inner scripts, identity, and environment shape our ability to grow and succeed. His final reminder: “There’s no such thing as failure, only feedback—and every no just means not right now.”
