My Honest Advice on How to Stand Out

Sahil Bloom
About this episode

In a world that values sameness, standing out is never free. But those who endure unlock the door to the most extraordinary lives.


This is a brutally honest list of the traits I've observed in people who truly stand out. These are the traits I aspire to live by.


9 uncommon traits that will make you stand out: (1) Be anti-insecure, (2) Cheer loudly (and without qualification), (3) Practice the art of studied nonchalance, (4) Surround yourself with Truth Tellers, (5) Embrace your beginner's mind, (6) Show up when no one's watching, (7) Tolerate uncertainty a little bit longer, (8) Do the old fashioned things well, and (9) Go all in on the things you want.
