How To Do 10 Years Of Work In 2 | Ed Mylett
"My default personality is insecure. Even today. Very much. If they really knew, you know, uh, pretty— some imposter syndrome mixed with just like tremendous— I was bullied as a kid. My dad was an alcoholic. I wasn't a real big guy. The only thing I was good at was sports."
Ed Mylett revealed that despite owning five homes, a private jet, and building massive businesses, his baseline emotional state remains deeply insecure. He described it as imposter syndrome combined with childhood trauma from being bullied and having an alcoholic father. The confidence people see is something he's had to work extremely hard to build and maintain.
