165 | Stop Polling the Internet: Build CEO Self-Trust in Your Decisions

Kallai Plummer Episode 165

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.

In this episode, I talk about how entrepreneurs often outsource decisions by polling social media, friends, competitors, or even ChatGPT, and how letting in too many voices creates confusion and pulls you away from your own clarity.


I outline how to build CEO self-trust by sitting with decisions before seeking input, tuning into what feels right for you, committing to choices even without 100% certainty, and using others’ feedback as data rather than the decision. I also describe practicing with low-stakes choices like dinner, tracking patterns through journaling, stopping permission-seeking, and learning from outcomes to strengthen confidence.
