He dives into why so many talented people hold back from sharing their success, ideas, and stories worried they’ll come across as arrogant or self-promoting. Ian unpacks the damaging effects of tall poppy culture on performance, opportunity, and confidence, and how it limits both individuals and teams from real growth. Using real-world examples and his own experiences as a coach and business owner, he shares practical advice for breaking free from self-censorship, embracing your achievements, and putting yourself forward with authenticity and purpose. This episode is a reminder that humility doesn’t mean hiding. When you own your story, you give others permission to rise too.
