Description

In this episode, I weave together a story about two five-year-olds, Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car, and the Dunning–Kruger effect to explore why some people feel and understand things they can’t yet explain—and why, in the workplace, we so often mistake confidence for competence. From the beauty of a song you have to experience yourself to the quiet experts sitting at the bottom of the curve, this episode looks at why the loudest voices aren’t always the wisest.
