079 Ben Scoggins: Embracing Leadership Doubts: The 'Everyone's Smarter' Struggle
Show Notes

In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Ben Scoggins, CEO at Organic.

Join us as we discuss why as a leader, the most important thing you can do is believe in
yourself. If you want to have an effective and successful team, you have to believe in them, and it all starts with the belief you have in yourself.

Ben also discusses the importance of remembering the foundations of what it is to be a great leader and keeping it at the front of your mind, especially in how you communicate with your team.

Key takeaways include:

  • Overcoming the feeling that everyone else is smarter than you and more amazing at what they do
  • The value of having talented and nice people on your team and how to make it happen
  • The seesaw of what is the agency giving you and what are you giving the agency


Ben Scoggins is the CEO of Organic, a digital experience agency based in Exeter. Organic are nearly 40 people strong, they partner with clients including Sainsbury's, Lush and Decathlon, and they are an extremely proud B Corps.
