I used to be the same as you re: infallibility, but guess what? I had the most audience interaction ever when I recorded myself making a recipe and forgot the eggs. Suddenly everyone realized I was human after all. Made me rethink a lot of things. :) Julien, I love that you wrote this post. I used to be the same as you re: infallibility, but guess what?

Made me rethink a lot of things. :)

The b.s quote is quite accurate. No one likes to encounter weakness, and that's why there is so much anger and aggression, as well as many other emotions that take place instead. These emotions are much easier to display instead of weakness of any sort. This stems from what society thinks of weakness, a no-no. Well written! The b.s quote is quite accurate.

I'm pretty sure I wrote that. So true right? I was really big into trying to project infallibility for a long time. It took me a while to figure out it doesn't work. Because of that I'm amazingly familiar with almost any excuse anyone ever gives me. ;) Hehe, thanks Brandon. I’m pretty sure I wrote that. So true right?

It reminds me of a sort of fundamental rule about being real and authentic - i.e. 'just be yourself.' Trying to project infallibility doesn't resonate, regardless of whether it's a person or a business. We all have flaws and by owning up to them publicly, we become more approachable. At least, I think so. Oh, and I love the bullshit filter quote - I imagined that was Chris's quote when I read it in Trust Agents. It was hands down one of my favorite lines in the book. Nice!
