Why We Sabotage Our Own Success | Dr. Albert Bramante

Why do talented, capable people sometimes become their own biggest obstacle?

Dr. Albert Bramante has spent more than two decades in the entertainment industry as a talent agent while studying the psychology behind self-defeating behavior. He joins Joe Rooz for a conversation about self-sabotage, procrastination, fear of failure—and even fear of success.

Albert explains why self-sabotage can function as a protective mechanism, how success can threaten our identity and relationships, and why chronic procrastination may point to something deeper than poor time management.

They also discuss lessons Albert learned representing actors, the importance of preparation without becoming scripted, surrounding yourself with the right people, and his practical “Happy File” technique for fighting those inevitable moments of self-doubt.
