This is not just a different name for self-doubt. It is pervasive and goes directly to your sense of self-worth and belonging. You don’t need a confidence hack.

Fraud is a raw, unfiltered memoir by Tom Gitchel Jr. that takes listeners deep inside the chaos of addiction, self-deception, and recovery. Chance James had a nursing license, a job, and a family who believed in him. But behind the mask, he was unraveling—addicted, ashamed, and living a lie he could no longer maintain. In a desperate attempt to escape, he faked his own abduction—and that is where the real story begins. This powerful true account follows his journey through rock bottom, detox, rehab, and the painful but redemptive process of learning to live again.

The United States has always proved an inviting home for boosters, sharp dealers, and outright swindlers.

The foods we misleadingly refer to as "carbs" aren't all created equal, and treating them that way has major consequences for our nutritional well-being.
