An Impostor by Design

Published on: 27th May, 2021

Mariana joins AI to discuss the unhappy marriage of impostors syndrome and creative work. Her insights about the universal struggle of self-doubt and being helplessly tied to the judgment of others leads to a conversation surrounding various topics including:

- importance of leaving space for randomness in life

- beautiful vs interesting

- why niches still matter

- the imbalance of empathy between the US and the rest of the world

- filtering through the noise of modern technology

- choosing comedy over tragedy


and many more!

About the Podcast

Impostors Anonymous
For the impostor in all of us.
Impostors Anonymous is an exploration of where conversation leads when we attempt to leave our identities at the door. This project aims to limit the audience's ability to be misguided by preconceived notions and labels, allowing for a focus on direct experience and the character of content. While any topic is on the table from any perspective, common themes will include consciousness, mitigating human suffering, and the unraveling of our group and internal identities.
