040. Be Your Own Biggest Fan (Because Here’s The Truth: No One Else Will) – Let go of false humility and claim the mic!

Is humility always a virtue—or can it hold you back? In this episode, Dave Flenagan and Zoe Hirsch explore Dr. Stef Huber’s powerful article on why excessive modesty can be a subtle form of self-sabotage. Dr. Huber questions whether constantly downplaying ourselves in the name of humility is truly admirable—or just a socially accepted way of staying stuck. Drawing from everyday life and historical examples, she shows that progress and fulfillment often require boldness, not self-erasure. Rather than shrinking to fit, Dr. Huber invites us to treat life as a one-time opportunity—and to become our own biggest supporter. Dave and Zoe discuss the line between confidence and arrogance, and why owning your light isn’t just okay—it’s necessary. 🎧 Listen now—and give yourself permission to take up space.
