Would you agree that pretending is a cousin of lying? It is problematic when people pretend to be something they're not, especially when they leverage themselves and their experience to give advice or sell something. Besides being inauthentic, pretending can be disastrous. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about how they have trouble pretending to their audience and clients. They share that they must walk the talk and live by example to give real advice. They also discuss and share an example of how pretending more than you practice can have different results.
