This week's episode focuses on an issue that plagues many professions but seems especially pronounced among attorneys.

Business of law senior editor Lizzy McLellan speaks with Cameron Stout, a financial services defense litigator and mental health advocate, about the phenomenon of imposter syndrome, which involves feelings of self-doubt about personal skills and accomplishments. Stout, who has shared his story of recovering from a major depressive episode more than 100 times with law firm audiences over the last seven years, points out where those fraudulent feelings begin in the legal profession and how mentors can spot the signs in less experienced lawyers.
