Performance Neurology with Josh Turknett, MD

He Played Broadway And The Opry But Still Felt Like a Fraud

Episode Description from the Publisher

Bennett Sullivan has played banjo on Broadway, at the Grand Ole Opry, and on the Poker Face soundtrack. By any measure, he belongs on any stage. And for years, he couldn't convince himself of it. In this episode, Bennett is honest about the gap between what he's accomplished and how it's felt from the inside: the comparison that made him great and got in his way at the same time, the night on Broadway he was sure he'd ruined the show, and the shift that finally let him get out of his own way, which turned out to have almost nothing to do with the banjo. If you've ever been good at something and still felt like you were about to be found out, this one's for you.
