From Self-Doubt to Self-Belief—Gavin’s Journey to Confidence (Ep. 9)

What’s holding you back, really?
In this episode, Marko sits down with Gavin, who knows firsthand how brutal self-doubt can be, and how life-changing it feels to finally break free.
Gavin spent years letting other people’s voices drown out his own. Bullied, judged, and searching for approval, he tried to “fix” his confidence from the outside, until a turning point forced him to rebuild from the inside out.

Here’s what you won’t hear in most confidence talks:

• Why self-doubt feels permanent—and how it isn’t

• The invisible weight of childhood, bullying, and missing role models

• How chasing approval kills real self-worth

• Why vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s the start of strength

• The step-by-step shifts that build true confidence—one hard choice at a time

Why you’ll want to listen:
If you’ve ever felt stuck, small, or not enough—this is your call to press play on a new story. Gavin’s journey is proof that confidence is built in the dark, not the spotlight. It starts with changing how you talk to yourself.

Standout moments:

• “Confidence is finally pressing play on your own life.”

• Turning self-doubt into action, even when it’s uncomfortable

• How letting others in makes you stronger

• Rewiring your environment, mindset, and self-talk—no matter where you start
