About this episode
In this episode, we take on the fascinating (and sometimes funny) world of the Dunning-Kruger effect—that cognitive bias where people with limited knowledge overestimate their own competence, while true experts often underestimate themselves.
We explore how this plays out in everyday life and reflect on our own run-ins with misplaced confidence.
Join us for a thoughtful yet lighthearted conversation on why we think we know more than we actually do, and what it takes to recognize the limits of our own expertise.
