‘American Ninja Warrior's Zuri Hall on Burnout, People-Pleasing, and Imposter Syndrome

Zuri Hall calls herself a "recovering people-pleaser"—and after 12 years as one of entertainment news's most recognizable hosts, she's learning what happens when she stops performing for other people’s approval.

Zuri is the host of American Ninja Warrior, now heading into its Olympic debut, and the new digital series Not About Sports.

She sits down with Carl to talk about the burnout she never saw coming, the imposter syndrome that still shows up with every new chapter of her career, and how she learned to stop abandoning herself to keep other people happy. It's a conversation about burnout, ambition, identity, and learning to show up as exactly who you are.
