#88 Underestimated: How to Lead with Confidence Before You Feel Ready with Mary Marantz
In today’s episode we talked with Mary Marantz, author of Underestimated, about being Underestimated and How to Start Small and Lead with Confidence Before You Feel Ready
"You don’t have to feel ready to be called. You just have to start walking.” – Mary Marantz, Leadership on the Rocks
What if the fear holding you back isn’t failure—but the belief that you’re not ready to lead? In this episode of Leadership on the Rocks, bestselling author and podcast host Mary Marantz joins us to talk about the powerful internal shift she unpacks in her new book, Underestimated. From growing up in a single-wide trailer in West Virginia to graduating from Yale Law School, Mary shares how the journey from self-doubt to confident leadership isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about being brave enough to start small.
Tune in as we explore what it means to stop waiting for the perfect moment, dismantle perfectionism and imposter syndrome, and embrace your role as a guide—even when you’re still figuring it out yourself.
