Yo, yo yo, what's up? Gen Z, it's your boys.
Aiden Kruz here back with another episode of Success Playbook,
and let's be real, Sometimes this whole adulting thing feels
like a dumpster fire right Like you're juggling school, work,
relationships and trying to figure out what the heck avocado
(00:21):
toast is even supposed to be. It's enough to make
anyone want to crawl back under their covers and binge
watch anime all day. But listen up, because this week
we're tackling something huge building confidence and self belief. Ever,
feel like you're constantly second guessing yourself, like can I
(00:42):
actually do this? Or am I even good enough? I've
been there, trust me, We've all been there. But here's
the thing. Confidence isn't some magical superpower that only a
select few possess. It's a muscle you build brick by
freaking brick. So buckle up because we're about to drop
(01:03):
some serious knowledge bombs on how to level up your
self assurance game. First things first, stop comparing yourself to
everyone else. Seriously, scroll off social media for five minutes
and focus on yo, you. We're talking unique talents, crazy passions,
those quirks, that make you well. Yo, you remember the
(01:26):
highlight reels on Instagram are carefully curated. Nobody's life is
as perfect as it seems online. It's like watching a
reality TV show where they edit out all the drama
and awkward moments. Yeah nah, next up, ditch the negative
self talk. That inner critic, the one that's always whispering
(01:47):
doubts in your ear. Time does silence that voice, my friend?
Replace those I can't statements with a solid I will try,
or even better, I am going to crush it. It's
about shifting your mindset from fear based to possibility driven.
(02:08):
Think of it like training for a marathon. You wouldn't
start by saying I'm gonna fail miserably, No way, You'd
focus on every step, every mile, and celebrate each victory
along the way. Now, let's talk about stepping outside your
comfort zone. Ever heard the saying growth happens at the
(02:29):
edge of your comfort zone? It's true, fam Trying new things,
even if they scare you a little, builds confidence like
nothing else. Think of it as leveling up in your
favorite video game. Every time you conquer a tough boss
or unlock a new skill, you feel that rush of accomplishment. Right,
(02:50):
speaking of accomplishments, celebrate your wins. Don't just brush them off,
big or small. Each success is a step forward. Share
those victories with the people who support you, Let them
hype you up because they deserve to see you shine.
And finally, remember that building confidence takes time. It's not
(03:12):
a destination, it's a journey. There will be ups and downs,
moments where you feel like you're killing it, and others
where you just want to hide under the covers. But
keep pushing forward, keep learning, keep growing, and most importantly,
keep believing in yourself, because that's what truly matters. All right,
(03:34):
let's talk about someone who embodies this whole confidence thing.
Emma Chamberlain. Ever since she blew up on YouTube with
her brutally honest vlogs and relatable content, she's just been
killing it. She started as a teenager sharing random thoughts
and adventures, and now she's got millions of subscribers, a
(03:56):
thriving podcast, and even launched her own coffee brand. Talk
about owning your hustle. She wasn't afraid to be herself,
even if that meant putting her anxieties and insecurities out
there for the world to see, and you know what,
people connected with it because it was real. She didn't
(04:16):
try to paint this perfect picture of success. She showed
the struggles, the doubts, the messy bits in between. That's
how she built a genuine connection with her audience, and
that's where true confidence comes from. Authenticity. Emma Chamberlain doesn't
pretend to have it all figured out. She embraces her
(04:37):
imperfections and uses them as stepping stones. And guess what,

you places. So remember gen Z, Ditch the comparison game,
