Confidence Boost: How to Be More Confident || Ep. 159

About this episode

Tanner discusses how to build lasting confidence through small choices and awareness.

Confidence isn’t something you either have or you don’t — it’s something you build, one small choice at a time. In this episode, recorded live on the back patio on a beautiful spring day (with co-host Putter by his side), Tanner breaks down the three pillars of real, lasting confidence — the kind that doesn’t wilt when fear shows up. In this episode: • Why small wins — even making your bed — are the foundation of unshakeable self-belief • The 15-year-old moment on stage that taught Tanner fear is a choice • The 3 elements of progress: speed, direction, and magnitude • Why awareness is the key to growth — and how staying one degree off course quietly derails everything • What it really means to “prove yourself” (hint: you have to improve yourself first) Whether you’re a teenager stepping into the unknown or an adult who’s been playing it safe for too long, this episode is your reminder: courage is always just one second away.
