LIA has partnered with Michael Knox and Graham Drew to bring you a podcast series dedicated to exploring the oft felt, but little-talked about phenomena of Imposter Syndrome within the Creative Industry. With a new episode every week, The Imposterous has been created to explore the theory that even the world’s most respected creative professionals suffer pangs of inadequacy that either stifle their potential brilliance or protect them from mediocrity. Tune in to find out how Imposter Syndrome might just be your superpower, if you let it.

 

Merlee calls herself a chairmom, a distinction which speaks volumes. A longtime campaigner for re-balancing the gender disparity that blights the creative industry, Merlee speaks first hand about how she fought for her place and won. But first and foremost, Merlee is the mother of four girls – two of whom she now happily competes against in other ad networks. But before all of that happened, she spent much of her adolescence as a Benedictine nun, learning the qualities of silence before embarking on a very noisy career. Merlee gives some inspirational advice on how to drown out that doubtful inner imposterous voice, as only she knows how.
