Michael Brody-Waite: Ditching Emotional Masks for True Success

So the three principles that I talk about in the ted talk and in the book practice- rigorous, authenticity, certainty, outcome- do uncomfortable work at the surface level can look like just some cool principles that you say and you repeat and people go: oh, that's great. I love the principles, I love what the person wrote, but I haven't actually changed who I am.
Ever feel like you're wearing a mask, not just physically but emotionally too? Entrepreneur and author Michael Brody-Waite knows all about it. In this episode of 'Showing Up with Asher Gottesman', Brody-Waite dives into his journey from addiction to recovery and how he’s applied those hard-earned lessons to the corporate world. He talks about the masks we wear to hide our true selves and how ditching them can lead to real success.
From the fear of being unlovable to the importance of authenticity, Brody-Waite's story is a testament to the power of vulnerability. Asher Gottesman kicks things off by introducing Brody-Waite as someone who’s not only survived addiction but has also turned his experiences into a blueprint for corporate success. Brody-Waite shares his struggles with the belief that if people knew the real him, they would abandon him. This led him to wear emotional masks as a coping mechanism.
But he found that real success came when he embraced authenticity and vulnerability. Brody-Waite outlines three key principles from his TEDx talk and book: practice rigorous authenticity, surrender the outcome, and do uncomfortable work. These aren’t just catchy phrases; they require a deep commitment to change. He emphasizes that leaders often wear masks to avoid burdening their teams or to appear thoughtful, but this can actually hinder effective communication and leadership.
To help leaders identify which masks they’re wearing, Brody-Waite offers a free mask assessment on his website. This tool helps you understand your authenticity percentage and provides steps to overcome the habit of wearing masks. By sharing his own journey, Brody-Waite inspires listeners to embrace their true selves, both personally and professionally. His insights offer a roadmap for anyone looking to break free from emotional masks and show up authentically in their lives.
Tune in to hear how embracing vulnerability can lead to genuine connections and real success.
