#3504: Faking Vs Forecasting

podcast December 17, 2025


Background
share close

In this episode, I break down the difference between faking and forecasting. People love to say “fake it till you make it,” but I explain why that mindset is weak and actually works against you. Faking is pretending, lying to yourself, and trying to get results without the real substance. Forecasting is different — it’s choosing who you’re becoming and matching your actions and energy with that future version of you right now. I talk about why faking comes from insecurity, why forecasting comes from certainty, and how to use this shift to grow for real.

Show Notes:

[04:14]#1 Faking is a performance whereas forecasting is an alignment performance.

[11:23]#2 Faking it is a leakage of energy.

[20:57]#3 The world reads energy, not words. 

[24:33]#4 Identity is a decision, not a reward.
