The Imposter Club

The Imposter Club is the podcast for anyone who’s ever felt they were winging it during their creative career (all of us?!).Host Kimberly Godbolt, a TV Director turned talent company co-founder of Talented People asks successful commissioners, producers & filmmakers to open up about their own moments of imposter syndrome, fear and failure to help us better understand and handle the ups and downs of our own creative career rollercoaster. The first season features BAFTA/Emmy/RST award winning filmmaker Olly Lambert, ex-commissioner and indie boss Fatima Salaria, and Mr Big Brother Phil Edgar-Jones OBE talking candidly about their toughest times and 'pinch me' moments.

    So inspiring
    I stumbled across this podcast by sheer luck, and it was a lovely reminder that life finds a way of giving you want you need. It was really cathartic to listen in on other professionals struggling with the definition of success, or just believing in their own talent and abilities. Took a lot away from these conversations, most notably that you’re not alone when you feel these things about yourself. Big thanks to Kimberly and her guests for their willingness to open up, be vulnerable and share their experiences with the rest of us. Keep it up!
