The author reflects on their experience volunteering at a nonprofit organization where a con artist, known as "Brazil," took over and emptied the organization's bank account before disappearing. The author notes that actual impostors, like Brazil, don't doubt themselves but instead confidently lie to achieve their goals. In contrast, people with impostor syndrome often question their qualifications and abilities, even among highly qualified individuals. The author shares personal anecdotes about feeling uncertain about their writing skills, despite having a successful career, and how they've learned different ways of doing things through practice and experience. They emphasize that people learn in different ways and shouldn't compare themselves to others, and instead, should openly discuss their feelings with trusted coworkers to alleviate self-doubt.
