Ep. 53: Courage Casts- Leading Through Doubt
In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, Josh Bitsko opens up about imposter syndrome, something every leader faces but few talk about. Drawing from his early years as a young police sergeant, Josh shares how moments of self-doubt shaped his approach to leadership and why feeling like an imposter isn’t always a bad thing.
He explains how healthy doubt can keep leaders humble, focused, and committed to growth, while overworking or avoiding challenges can deepen insecurity. Through real experiences and practical insights, Josh reminds us that true leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about caring enough to keep learning, growing, and leading with honesty.
