In this episode of Kin & Capital, hosts Christian, Mike, Chris, and Alexis dive deep into one of the most misunderstood traits in business and personal growth — confidence. From missed opportunities and imposter syndrome to the razor-thin line between confidence and arrogance, the crew gets raw about the mental hurdles that shape how we show up every day.

The conversation explores:

How lacking confidence costs you deals, promotions, and relationships

The role of negative self-talk and how introverts can actually dominate in sales and leadership

The importance of criticism, mentors, and curiosity in long-term growth

When confidence tips into arrogance — and how to find balance again

This is one of the most honest Kin & Capital discussions yet — practical, reflective, and filled with insight for anyone chasing growth while fighting self-doubt.

02:00 – 05:00 Networking fears and learning to enter the room

07:00 – 11:00 Introvert vs. extrovert confidence

11:00 – 15:00 Constructive criticism, mentors, and the importance of feedback

23:00 – 26:00 Faith, reflection, and finding equilibrium

36:00 – 43:00 Do you follow passion—or build it through challenges?
