In this week's episode, Lisa unpacks the art of delusion: why we lie to ourselves, believe our own hype, and double down even when the facts say "no thanks." She and Nick talk blind ambition, ego, and the fine line between confidence and full-blown fantasy. Listener letters include a woman who thinks she's the next big thing, and a middle-aged man who wants to dive into acting--but hey, a dream is a dream, right? And sometimes denial is rocket fuel for a dream with zero plan.
