What does it cost to doubt yourself—and what does it take to believe quietly, deeply, and consistently when no one’s watching? In this mentorship-style episode, Matt and Will open up about the quiet battles behind confidence, the tension between flow and discipline, and the fear of living a life shaped by others’ opinions. Through honest reflection, spiritual grounding, and silent habits, they explore how self-belief is built not on noise, but on showing up—especially when it’s just you and God.
