How future doctors are navigating social media's impact on public education. How can a well-meaning medfluencer be sure they're actually helping? M1 Zach Grissom, M2 Fallon Jung, M3 Jeff Goddard, and M4 Matt Engelken sit down with third-year DO student Nik Bletnitsky to discuss the role of social media in medical education. Current and Future doctors are increasingly using these platforms to share medical knowledge—but, even if you're careful to offer the best information, what are the hidden dangers? The conversation covers the sometimes blurry line between education, misinformation, and contradicting someone's doctor's advice. How disclaimers work (or don't), and why the Dunning-Kruger effect can turn a curious patient into an overconfident self-diagnoser. Should doctors be influencers? Can patients trust what they see online? And is it possible to make medical knowledge accessible without accidentally making things worse?

Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge von "Die Gründer". Heute nehmen euch Ole und Yannick mit auf eine spannende Reise durch die Welt der künstlichen Intelligenz im Gerichtssaal und die Tiefen der (Fehl-)Interpretation psychologischer Studien. Yannick berichtet von zwei aktuellen Fällen aus dem US-amerikanischen Justizsystem, in denen KI-Avatare – ob als Anwalt oder als Stimme aus dem Jenseits – vor Gericht eingesetzt wurden. Gemeinsam diskutieren die beiden, welche Chancen und ethischen Fragen mit solchen Technologien einhergehen.Im zweiten Teil der Episode nimmt Ole den Umgang mit Studien und populärwissenschaftlichen Mythen unter die Lupe. Mit viel Medienkritik deckt er auf, warum Korrelation nicht immer Kausalität bedeutet und warum das berühmte psychologische Priming viel weniger Einfluss auf unsere Entscheidungen hat, als viele annehmen.

My mission at Wealth Formula Podcast is to provide you with real financial education. You may have heard of something called the Dunning-Kruger curve. In short, when you start learning something new, you know that you don't know anything. That's the safe zone. The dangerous part is what I call the red zone—when you've learned just enough to think you know a lot, but really… you don't. Then, eventually, if you keep learning, you get to the point where you finally realize how little you actually know—and how much more there is to understand. That's kind of where I am now. And so, the only thing I can do—and the only thing I encourage you to do—is to keep learning more than we knew yesterday. Take this week's episode. We're talking about Employee Stock Ownership Plans, or ESOPs. Until recently, I didn't fully understand how they worked. And I'd bet most business owners don't either. Which is exactly why this episode matters. Even if you don't currently own a business or a practice, I still think it's important to learn about strategies like this—because someday you might. And in the meantime, you're expanding your financial vocabulary, which is always a good investment. So, what is an ESOP? At its core, an ESOP is a legal structure that allows you to sell your business to a trust set up for your employees—usually over time. It's a way to cash out, preserve your legacy, stay involved if you want to, and unlock some massive tax advantages in the process. But before we talk about all the bells and whistles, let's address the number one question that confuses almost everyone—including me: Where does the money come from? If you're selling your company to a trust, and your employees aren't writing you a check… how the hell are you getting paid? Here's the answer: You're selling your business to an ESOP trust, which is a qualified retirement trust for the benefit of your employees. That trust becomes the buyer. But like any buyer, it needs money. So how does it pay you? There are two main sources: Bank financing – Sometimes, the ESOP trust can borrow part of the purchase price from a lender. Seller financing – And this is the big one. You finance your own sale by carrying a note. That means you get paid over time, through scheduled payments—funded by the company's future profits. The company continues to generate cash flow, and instead of paying it out to you as the owner, it pays off the loan owed to you as the seller. So yes—it's a structured, tax-advantaged way to convert your equity into liquidity using your company's own future earnings. You're not walking away with a check on Day 1—but you are pulling money out of the business steadily and predictably, often with interest that beats what a bank would offer. And here's the kicker: If your company is an S-corp and becomes 100% ESOP-owned, it likely pays no federal income tax, and often no state income tax either. That means a lot more money stays in the business—available to fund your buyout faster. If you're a C-corp, you might even qualify for a 1042 exchange, which can defer or eliminate capital gains taxes entirely if you reinvest the proceeds in U.S. securities. And here's something the experts probably won't say out loud—but I will: This isn't always about selling your business. Sometimes, it's just a very clever way to get money out of your business and pay less tax. You'll hear ESOP consultants talk about legacy and succession planning—and that's all true and valuable. But in reality, some owners use ESOPs as a pure tax play. They stay in control, they keep running the business, and they simply create a legal structure that lets them pull money out tax-efficiently while rewarding employees along the way. Think of it less like a sale and more like a smart internal liquidity strategy. You still own the culture. You still drive the direction.

We had a parade Saturday that honored the w w two veterans that served on the USS Cowpens. It is heartwarming to watch. We will certainly check that out. I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Gerald. Well, the Democrats, they should change their name. They that's what they need. I saw this guy this weekend. I think it was over on TikTok. He was like he was like, how can I make a can of Pepsi healthy? How can I do that? And he went on I mean, it was amazing what this guy did. First of all, he changed it to Pepsi hydration. Pepsi hydration made mostly water, and and he rebranded it to say, the main ingredient it is is always water. Made from all natural ingredients. Yada yada yada. And he took this ordinary can of Pepsi, rebranded it, and made it look like something you go, man, I'm gonna give me some of this Pepsi hydrate. Yeah, ma'am. Oh, yes. I'm I'm dehydrated. I better get me a big old can of Pepsi. It was just Pepsi. That's all it was. But he was able to rebrand it and make it into something that it completely was not. The Democrats need a rebranding. They need to drop that name, the Democrat Party. That's not working for me. It's got, it's got too much too much baggage with it, too much luggage, too much bad history. They need to change the name of the Democrat Party to exactly what they really are, and that is the Dunning Kruger party. Now if you don't know what the Dunning Kruger effect is, let me explain it to you. And I've got I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna get the official definition. The Dunning Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a specific area tend to overestimate their competence, while those with high ability tend to underestimate their ability. Essentially, unskilled individuals lack the self awareness to recognize their own incompetence, leading them to believe that they are more skilled than they actually are. Conversely, highly skilled individuals may underestimate their abilities because they perceive tasks that are easy for them to be easy for everyone else as well. In other words, what's that saying is people, the Dunning Kruger effect means that you're an idiot, and you're too stupid to know that you're an idiot. Can you think of a better definition of the Democrat party? They're dumb, and they just don't know it. All of this I mean, literally, all of this stuff that they say when you got you got what that that mayor of Chicago now calling for reparations. Basically saying that the the city of Chicago is only going to work with black vendors. Literally saying that. That happened today. This guy is so dumb. He doesn't even realize how dumb he is. Maxine Waters is so dumb. She doesn't even realize how dumb she is. But, boy, everything she says, she says with the utmost confidence. So, yeah, the Democrat party, they should be renamed the Dunning Kruger party because while they're idiots, while they're incompetent, in their own little pea brained mind, they believe they are. They literally think they're doing a good job. They're sitting there putting forks in light sockets, thinking they're doing something good. They have no idea. They really don't. So they get involved in all of these causes, like these no king. I will guarantee you, most of those people at the no king's protest that were going on this weekend really truly had no idea why they was there. They were just there because somebody told them to go. Now we've had a couple of no kings parties, no kings protest in this country in the past. The first one happened in 1776. The latest one that happened was on February, actually, when we elected Donald Trump. Theirs was the party that were acting. They were the ones that were the authoritarians. They were the ones that were shutting this country down. They were the ones that ar ...

I better get me a big old can of Pepsi. It was just Pepsi. That's all it was. But he was able to rebrand it and make it into something that it completely was not. The Democrats need a rebranding. They need to drop that name, the Democrat Party. That's not working for them. It's got, it's got too much too much baggage with it, too much luggage, too much bad history. They need to change the name of the Democrat Party to exactly what they really are, and that is the Dunning Kruger party. Now if you don't know what the Dunning Kruger effect is, let me explain it to you. And I've got I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna get the official definition. The Dunning Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a specific area tend to overestimate their competence, while those with high ability tend to underestimate their ability. Essentially, unskilled individuals lack the self awareness to recognize their own incompetence, leading them to believe that they are more skilled than they actually are. Conversely, highly skilled individuals may underestimate their abilities because they perceive tasks that are easy for them to be easy for everyone else as well. In other words, what's that saying is people, the Dunning Kruger effect means that you're an idiot and you're too stupid to know that you're an idiot. Can you think of a better definition of the Democrat party? They're dumb, and they just don't know it. All of this I mean, literally, all of this stuff that they say, when you got you got what that that mayor of Chicago now calling for reparations. Basically saying that the the city of Chicago is only going to work with black vendors. Literally saying that. That happened today. This guy is so dumb. He doesn't even realize how dumb he is. Maxine Waters is so dumb. She doesn't even realize how dumb she is. But, boy, everything she says, she says with the utmost confidence. So, yeah, the Democrat Party, they should be renamed the Dunning Kruger Party because while they're idiots, while they're incompetent, in their own little pea brained mind, they believe they are. They literally think they're doing a good job. They're sitting there putting forks in light sockets, thinking they're doing something good. They have no idea. They really don't. So they get involved in all of these causes, like these no king. I will guarantee you, most of those people at the no king's protest that were going on this weekend really, truly had no idea why they was there. They were just there because somebody told them to go. Now we've had a couple of no kings parties, no kings protest in this country in the past. The first one happened in 1776. The latest one that happened was on February, actually, when we elected Donald Trump. Theirs was the party that were acting. They were the ones that were the authoritarians. They were the ones that were shutting this country down. They were the ones th ...

FOLLOW US on IG: FUNNYBUTFOULPODCASTYOUTUBE: Funny But FoulTik Tok: Funny But FoulIn this episode, we tackle a provocative and uncomfortable question: Are we too dumb for democracy? It's a bold claim, but one that deserves serious discussion — especially in a world where access to information is at an all-time high, yet so many people remain misinformed, disengaged, or manipulated by surface-level headlines and social media soundbites.We begin by breaking down what democracy actually demands from its citizens. At its core, democracy assumes that the average voter can make informed decisions about complex issues — economics, healthcare, foreign policy, social justice, and more. But is that realistic? Does the average person truly understand what they're voting for, or are they just reacting emotionally, influenced by tribalism, partisan media, or viral content designed more to provoke than to inform?We explore the alarming trends in civic literacy — including surveys showing how many voters can't name the three branches of government, don't understand how inflation works, or vote primarily based on personality rather than policy. We also touch on the psychological factors at play: confirmation bias, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and our tendency to outsource thinking to influencers or political parties rather than doing the hard work of forming independent, evidence-based opinions.The episode isn't just a takedown of the average voter — it's also a critique of the system that has allowed this to happen. We examine how education systems, media platforms, and even political campaigns often benefit from keeping people uninformed. After all, it's easier to control a population that doesn't question the narrative. We also ask: if democracy fails when voters are uneducated or misinformed, does that mean democracy is fundamentally flawed? Or does it just mean we're not doing enough to support it properly?Midway through the episode, we push the conversation further by asking some uncomfortable but necessary questions: Should voting require a basic understanding of the issues? Would a democracy with a civics test be more effective — or would that be elitist and anti-democratic in itself? Where's the line between fairness and functionality?Throughout the discussion, we don't offer easy answers — instead, we challenge listeners to confront the fragility of a system built on informed consent when so much of the electorate is anything but informed. We close the episode with a call to action: democracy isn't a spectator sport. It requires effort, education, and the courage to admit when we don't know enough — and the humility to learn.If you've ever wondered why things feel like they're getting worse despite all the freedom to vote, speak, and act — this episode might give you a new lens to see the problem. And it might just piss you off enough to do something about it.

Value differences between generations are natural. Documenting family legacy helps members understand the "unique collection of coincidences" that created family wealth.25:00-30:00 - The Five Liabilities of Family TeamsFamilies fall into cycles of chaos, conflict avoidance, people pleasing, procrastination, and abandonment. Conflict in wealthy families isn't "about the money" but about belonging and unspoken pain, with underlying trauma as the root cause.30:00-35:00 - Money as Intimate EnergyMoney sits at our "root chakra" with sexuality and intimacy. The pudendal nerve means "the place to be ashamed of" in Latin, explaining why people discuss trauma but avoid talking about money in therapy.35:00-40:00 - Success vs. Failure in Wealth TransitionSuccess requires strong relational, financial, and operational systems. Even "abandonment" can resolve energetically over generations, though blended families face increased emotional complexity and trust issues.40:00-45:00 - Self-Worth and Sibling DisparitiesThe pillar metaphor describes never feeling "less than" by cultivating both inherent worth ("you're lovable because you exist") and earned worth. Wealth disparities between siblings can destroy family relationships.45:00-50:00 - Addressing Compulsive BehaviorsCompulsive spending functions as addiction: "what is the pain you're running from?" Imposter syndrome and Dunning-Kruger effect represent two sides of worth issues, while "inversion of trust" means feeling safer with strangers than family.50:00-55:00 - Individual Change Creates Systemic HealingWorking on inherited trauma individually heals entire family systems. Using the "fascia" metaphor, removing one knot improves the whole system. Success means creating lasting change while learning personally.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In-Ear Insights, a few people have asked us the question, should I hire an AI expert—a person, an AI expert on my team—or should I try to grow AI expertise, someone as an AI leader within my company? I can see there being pros and cons to both, but, Katie, you are the people expert. You are the organizational behavior expert. I know the answer is it depends. But at first blush, when someone comes to you and says, hey, should I be hiring an AI expert, somebody who can help shepherd my organization through the crazy mazes of AI, or should I grow my own experts? What is your take on that question? Katie Robbert – 00:47 Well, it definitely comes down to it depends. It depends on what you mean by an AI expert. So, what is it about AI that they are an expert in? Are you looking for someone who is staying up to date on all of the changes in AI? Are you looking for someone who can actually develop with AI tools? Or are you looking for someone to guide your team through the process of integrating AI tools? Or are you looking for all of the above? Which is a totally reasonable response, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get one person who can do all three. So, I think first and foremost, it comes down to what is your goal? And by that I mean, what is the AI expertise that your team is lacking? Katie Robbert – 01:41 Or what is the purpose of introducing AI into your organization? So, unsurprisingly, starting with the 5P framework, the 5Ps are purpose, people, process, platform, performance, because marketers like alliteration. So, purpose. You want to define clearly what AI means to the company, so not your ‘what I did over summer vacation’ essay, but what AI means to me. What do you want to do with AI? Why are you bringing AI in? Is it because I want to keep up with my competitors? Bad answer. Is it because you want to find efficiencies? Okay, that’s a little bit better. But if you’re finding efficiencies, first you need to know what’s not working. So before you jump into getting an AI expert, you probably need someone who’s a process expert or an expert in the technologies that you feel like are inefficient. Katie Robbert – 02:39 So my personal stance is that there’s a lot of foundational work to do before you figure out if you can have an AI expert. An AI expert is like bringing in an AI piece of software. It’s one more thing in your tech stack. This is one more person in your organization fighting to be heard. What are your thoughts, Chris? Christopher S. Penn – 03:02 AI expert is kind of like saying, I want to hire a business expert. It’s a very umbrella term. Okay, are your finances bad? Is your hiring bad? Is your sales process bad? To your point, being very specific about your purpose and the performance—which are the bookends of the 5Ps—is really important because otherwise AI is a big area. You have regression, you have classification, you have generative AI. Even within generative AI, you have coding, media generation. There’s so many things. We were having a discussion internally in our own organization this morning about some ideas about internationalization using AI. It’s a big planet. Katie Robbert – 03:46 Yeah, you’ve got to give me some direction. What does that mean? I think you and I, Chris, are aligned. If you’re saying, ‘I want to bring in an AI expert,’ you don’t actually know what you’re looking for because there are so many different facets of expertise within the AI umbrella that you want to be really specific about what that actually means and how you’re going to measure their performance. So if you’re looking for someone to help you make things more efficient, that’s not necessarily an AI expert. If you’re concerned that your team is not on board, that’s not an AI expert. If you are thinking that you’re not getting the most out of the platforms that you’re using, that’s not an AI expert. Those are very different skill sets. Katie Robbert – 04:38 An AI expert, if we’re talking—let’s just say we could come up with a definition of an AI expert—Chris, you are someone who I would consider an AI expert, and I would list those qualifications as: someone who stays up to date. Someone who knows enough that you can put pretty much any model in front of them and they know how to build a prompt, and someone who can speak to how these tools would integrate into your existing tech stack. My guess is that’s the kind of person that everybody’s looking for: someone to bring AI into my organization, do some light education, and give us a tool to play with. Christopher S. Penn – 05:20 We often talk about things like strategy, tactics, execution, and measurement. So, sort of four layers: why are you doing this thing? What are you going to do? How are you going to do it, and did it work? An actual AI expert has to be able to do all four of those things to say, here’s why we’re doing this thing—AI or not. But here’s why you’d use AI, here’s what AI tools and technologies you use, here’s how you do them, and here’s the proof that what you did worked. So when someone says, ‘I want an AI expert for my company,’ even then, they have to be clear: do we want someone who’s going to help us set our strategy or do we want someone who’s going to build stuff and make stuff for us? It’s very unclear. Christopher S. Penn – 06:03 I think that narrowing down the focus, even if you do narrow down the focus, you still have to restart the 5Ps. So let’s say we got this question from another colleague of ours: ‘I want to do AI lead generation.’ Was the remit to help me segment and use AI to do better lead generation? Well, that’s not an AI problem. As you always say, new technology does not solve all problems. This is not an AI problem; this is a lead generation problem. So the purpose is pretty clear. You want more leads, but it’s not a platform issue with AI. It is actually a people problem. How are people buying in the age of AI? And that’s what you need to solve. Christopher S. Penn – 06:45 And from there you can then go through the 5Ps and user stories and things to say, ‘yeah, this is not an AI expert problem. This is an attention problem.’ You are no longer getting awareness because AI has eaten it. How are you going to get attention to generate audience that becomes prospects that eventually becomes leads? Katie Robbert – 07:05 Yeah, that to me is an ideal customer profile, sales playbook, marketing planning and measurement problem. And sure, you can use AI tools to help with all of those things, but those are not the core problems you’re trying to solve. You don’t need AI to solve any of those problems. You can do it all without it. It might take a little longer or it might not. It really depends. I think that’s—So, Chris, I guess we’re not saying, ‘no, you can’t bring in an AI expert.’ We’re saying there’s a lot of different flavors of AI expertise. And especially now where AI is the topic, the thing—it was NFTs and it was crypto and it was Bitcoin and it was Web three, whatever the heck that was. And it was, pick a thing—Clubhouse. Katie Robbert – 07:57 All of a sudden, everybody was an expert. Right now everybody’s a freaking expert in AI. You can’t sneeze and not have someone be like, ‘I’m an AI expert. I can fix that problem for you.’ Cool. I’ve literally never seen you in the space, but congratulations, you’re an AI expert. The point I’m making here is that if you are not hyper specific about the kind of expertise you’re looking for, you are likely going to end up with a dud. You are likely going to end up with someone who is willing to come in at a lower price just to get their foot in the door. Christopher S. Penn – 08:40 Yep. Katie Robbert – 08:40 Or charge you a lot of money. You won’t know that it’s not working until it doesn’t work and they’ve already moved on. We talked about this on the livestream yesterday about people who come in as AI experts to fix your sales process or something like that. And you don’t know it’s not working until you’ve spent a lot of money on this expert, but you’re not bringing in any more revenue. But by then they’re gone. They’re already down the street selling their snake oil to the next guy. Christopher S. Penn – 09:07 Exactly. Now, to the question of should you grow your own? That’s a big question because again, what level of expertise are you looking for? Strategy, tactics, or execution? Do you want someone who can build? Do you want someone who can choose tools and tactics? Do you want someone who can set the strategy? And then within your organization, who are those people? And this is very much a people issue, which is: do they have the aptitudes to do that? I don’t mean AI aptitude; I mean, are they a curious person? Do they learn quickly? Do they learn well outside their domain? Because a lot of people can learn in their domain with what’s familiar to them. But a whole bunch of other people are really uncomfortable learning something outside their domain. Christopher S. Penn – 09:53 And for one reason or another, they may not be suited as humans to become that internal AI champion. Katie Robbert – 10:02 I would add to that not only the curiosity, but also the communication, because it’s one thing to be able to learn it, but then you have to, if you’re part of a larger team, explain what you learned, explain why you think this is a good idea. You don’t have to be a professional speaker, be able to give a TED talk, but you need to be able to say, ‘hey, Chris, I found this tool. Here’s what it does, here’s why I think we should use it,’ and be able to do that in a way that Chris is like, ‘oh, yeah! That is a really good idea. Let’s go ahead and explore it.’ But if you just say, ‘I found this thing,’ okay, and congratulations, here’s your sticker, that’s not helpful. Katie Robbert – 10:44 So communication, the people part of it, is essential. Right now, a lot of companies—we talked about this on last week’s podcast—a lot of leaders, a lot of CEOs, are disregarding the people in favor of ‘AI is going to do it,’ ‘technology is going to take it over,’ and that’s just not how that’s going to work. You can go ahead and alienate all of your people, but then you don’t have anyone to actually do the work. Because AI doesn’t just set itself up; it doesn’t just run itself without you telling it what it is you need it to do. And you need people to do that. Christopher S. Penn – 11:27 Yep. Really important AI models—we just had a raft of new announcements. So the new version of Gemini 2.5, the new version of OpenAI’s Codex, Claude 4 from Anthropic just came out. These models have gotten insanely smart, which, as Ethan Mollock from Wharton says, is a problem, because the smarter AI gets, the smarter its mistakes get and the harder it is for non-experts to pick up that expert AI is making expert-level mistakes that can still steer the ship in the wrong direction, but you no longer know if you’re not a domain expert in that area. So part of ‘do we grow an AI expert internally’ is: does this person that we’re thinking of have the ability to become an AI expert but also have domain expertise in our business to know when the AI is wrong? Katie Robbert – 12:26 At the end of the day, it’s software development. So if you understand the software development lifecycle, or even if you don’t, here’s a very basic example. Software engineers, developers, who don’t have a QA process, yes, they can get you from point A to point B, but it may be breaking things in the background. It might be, if their code is touching other things, something else that you rely on may have been broken. But listen, that thing you asked for—it’s right here. They did it. Or it may be using a lot of API tokens or server space or memory, whatever it is. Katie Robbert – 13:06 So if you don’t also have a QA process to find out if that software is working as expected, then yes, they got you from point A to point B, but there are all of these other things in the background that aren’t working. So, Chris, to your point about ‘as AI gets smarter, the mistakes get smarter’—unless you’re building people and process into these AI technologies, you’re not going to know until you get slapped with that thousand-dollar bill for all those tokens that you used. But hey, great! Three of your prospects now have really solid lead scores. Cool. Christopher S. Penn – 13:44 So I think we’re sort of triangulating on what the skills are that you should be looking for, which is someone who’s a good critical thinker, someone who’s an amazing communicator who can explain things, someone who is phenomenal at doing requirements gathering and being able to say, ‘this is what the thing is.’ Someone who is good at QA to be able to say the output of this thing—human or machine—is not good, and here’s why, and here’s what we should do to fix it. Someone who has domain expertise in your business and can explain, ‘okay, this is how AI does or does not fit into these things.’ And then someone who knows the technology—strategy, tactics, and execution. Why are we using this technology? What does the technology do? How do we deploy it? Christopher S. Penn – 14:30 For example, Mistral, the French company, just came up with a new model Dev Stroll, which is apparently doing very well on software benchmarks. Knowing that it exists is important. But then that AI expert who has to have all those other areas of expertise also has to know why you would use this, what you would use it for, and how you would use it. So I almost feel that’s a lot to cram into one human being. Katie Robbert – 14:56 It’s funny, I was just gonna say I feel that’s where—and obviously dating ourselves—that’s where things, the example of Voltron, where five mini-lion bots come together to make one giant lion bot, is an appropriate example because no one person—I don’t care who they are—no one person is going to be all of those things for you. But congratulations: together Chris and I are. That Voltron machine—just a quick plug. Because it’s funny, as you’re going through, I’m like, ‘you’re describing the things that we pride ourselves on, Chris,’ but neither of us alone make up that person. But together we do cover the majority. I would say 95% of those things that you just listed we can cover, we can tackle, but we have to do it together. Katie Robbert – 15:47 Because being an expert in the people side of things doesn’t always coincide with being an expert in the technology side of things. You tend to get one or the other. Christopher S. Penn – 15:59 Exactly. And in our case as an agency, the client provides the domain expertise to say, ‘hey, here’s what our business is.’ We can look at it and go, ‘okay, now I understand your business and I can apply AI technology and AI processes and things to it.’ But yeah, we were having that discussion not too long ago about, should we claim that AI expertise in healthcare technologies? Well, we know AI really well. Do we know healthcare—DSM codes—really well? Not really, no. So could we adapt and learn fast? Yes. But are we practitioners day to day working in an ER? No. Katie Robbert – 16:43 So in that case, our best bet is to bring on a healthcare domain expert to work alongside both of us, which adds another person to the conversation. But that’s what that starts to look like. If you say, ‘I want an AI expert in healthcare,’ you’re likely talking about a few different people. Someone who knows healthcare, someone who knows the organizational behavior side of things, and someone who knows the technology side of things. And together that gives your quote-unquote AI expert. Christopher S. Penn – 17:13 So one of the red flags for the AI expert side of things, if you’re looking to bring in someone externally, is someone who claims that with AI, they can know everything because the machines, even with great research tools, will still make mistakes. And just because someone’s an AI expert does not mean they have the sense to understand the subtle mistakes that were made. Not too long ago, we were using some of the deep research tools to pull together potential sponsors for our podcast, using it as a sales prospecting tool. And we were looking at it, looking at who we know to be in the market: ‘yeah, some of these are not good fits.’ Even though it’s plausible, it’s still not a good fit. Christopher S. Penn – 18:01 One of them was the Athletic Greens company, which, yes, for a podcast, they advertise on every podcast in the world. I know from listening to other shows and listening to actual experts that there’s some issues with that particular sponsorship. So it’s not a good fit. Even though the machine said, ‘yeah, this is because they advertise on every other podcast, they’re clearly just wanting to hand out money to podcasters.’ I have the domain expertise in our show to know, ‘yeah, that’s not a good fit.’ But as someone who is an AI expert who claimed that they understood everything because AI understands everything, doesn’t know that the machine’s wrong. So as you’re thinking about, should I bring an AI expert on externally, vet them on the level, vet them on how willing they are to say, ‘I don’t know.’ Katie Robbert – 18:58 But that’s true of really any job interview. Christopher S. Penn – 19:01 Yes. Katie Robbert – 19:02 Again, new tech doesn’t solve old problems, and AI is, at least from my perspective, exacerbating existing problems. So suddenly you’re an expert in everything. Suddenly it’s okay to be a bad manager because ‘AI is going to do it.’ Suddenly the machines are all. And that’s not an AI thing. Those are existing problems within your organization that AI is just going to magnify. So go ahead and hire that quote-unquote AI expert who on their LinkedIn profile says they have 20 years of generative AI expertise. Good luck with that person, because that’s actually not a thing now. Christopher S. Penn – 19:48 At most it would have to be 8 years and you would have to have credentials from Google DeepMind, because that’s where it was invented. You cannot say it’s anything older than that. Katie Robbert – 20:00 But I think that’s also a really good screening question is: do you know what Google DeepMind is? And do you know how long it’s been around? Christopher S. Penn – 20:09 Yep. If someone is an actual AI expert—not ‘AI and marketing,’ but an actual AI expert itself—can you explain the Transformers architecture? Can you explain the diffuser architecture? Can you explain how they’re different? Can you explain how one becomes the other? Because that was a big thing that was announced this week by Google DeepMind. No surprise about how they’re crossing over into each other, which is a topic for another time. But to your point, I feel AI is making Dunning-Kruger much worse. At the risk of being insensitive, it’s very much along gender lines. There are a bunch of dudes who are now making wild claims: ‘no, you really don’t know what you’re talking about.’ Katie Robbert – 21:18 I hadn’t planned on putting on my ranty pants today, but no, I feel that’s. Again, that’s a topic for another time. Okay. So here’s the thing: you’re not wrong. To keep this podcast and this topic productive, you just talked about a lot of things that people should be able to explain if they are an AI expert. The challenge on the other side of that table is people hiring that AI expert aren’t experts in AI. So, Chris, you could be explaining to me how Transformers turn into Voltron, bots turn into Decepticons, and I’m like, ‘yeah, that sounds good’ because you said all the right words. So therefore, you must be an expert. So I guess my question to you is, how can a non-AI expert vet and hire an AI expert without losing their mind? Is that possible? Christopher S. Penn – 22:15 Change the words. How would you hire a medical doctor when you’re not a doctor? How would you hire a plumber when you’re not a plumber? What are the things that you care about? And that goes back to the 5Ps, which is: and we say this with job interviews all the time. Walk me through, step by step, how you would solve this specific problem. Katie, I have a lead generation problem. My leads are—I’m not getting enough leads. The ones I get are not qualified. Tell me as an AI expert exactly what you would do to solve this specific problem. Because if I know my business, I should be able to listen to you go, ‘yeah, but you’re not understanding the problem, which is, I don’t get enough qualified leads. I get plenty of leads, but they’re crap.’ Christopher S. Penn – 23:02 It’s the old Glengarry Glen Ross: ‘The leads are weak.’ Whereas if the person is an actual AI expert, they can say, ‘okay, let me ask you a bunch of questions. Tell me about your marketing automation software. Tell me about your CRM. Tell me how you have set up the flow to go from your website to your marketing automation to your sales CRM. Tell me about your lead scoring. How do you do your lead scoring? Because your leads are weak, but you’re still collecting tons of them. That means you’re not using your lead scoring properly. Oh, there’s an opportunity where I can show AI’s benefit to improve your lead scoring using generative AI.’ Christopher S. Penn – 23:40 So even in that, we haven’t talked about a single model or a single ‘this’ or ‘that,’ but we have said, ‘let me understand your process and what’s going on.’ That’s what I would listen for. If I was hiring an AI expert to diagnose anything and say, I want to hear, and where we started: this person’s a great communicator. They’re a critical thinker. They can explain things. They understand the why, the what, and the how. They can ask good questions. Katie Robbert – 24:12 If I was the one being interviewed and you said, ‘how can I use AI to improve my lead score? I’m getting terrible leads.’ My first statement would be, ‘let’s put AI aside for a minute because that’s not a problem AI is going to solve immediately without having a lot of background information.’ So, where does your marketing team fit into your sales funnel? Are they driving awareness or are you doing all pure cold calling or outbound marketing—whatever it is you’re doing? How clear is your ideal customer profile? Is it segmented? Are you creating different marketing materials for those different segments? Or are you just saying, ‘hi, we’re Trust Insights, we’re here, please hire us,’ which is way too generic. Katie Robbert – 24:54 So there’s a lot of things that you would want to know before even getting into the technology. I think that, Chris, to your point, an AI expert, before they say, ‘I’m the expert, here’s what AI is going to fix,’ they’re going to know that there are a lot of things you probably need to do before you even get to AI. Anyone who jumps immediately to AI is going to solve this problem is likely not a true expert. They are probably just jumping on the bandwagon looking for a dollar. Christopher S. Penn – 25:21 Our friend Andy Crestedine has a phenomenal phrase that I love so much, which is ‘prescription before diagnosis is malpractice.’ That completely applies here. If you’re saying ‘AI is the thing, here’s the AI solution,’ yeah, but we haven’t talked about what the problem is. So to your point about if you’re doing these interviews, the person’s ‘oh yeah, all things AI. Let’s go.’ I get that as a technologist at heart, I’m like, ‘yeah, look at all the cool things we can do.’ But it doesn’t solve. Probably on the 5Ps here—down to performance—it doesn’t solve: ‘Here’s how we’re going to improve that performance.’ Katie Robbert – 26:00 To your point about how do you hire a doctor? How do you hire a plumber? We’ve all had that experience where we go to a doctor and they’re like, ‘here’s a list of medications you can take.’ And you’re like, ‘but you haven’t even heard me. You’re not listening to what I’m telling you is the problem.’ The doctor’s saying, ‘no, you’re totally normal, everything’s fine, you don’t need treatment. Maybe just move more and eat less.’ Think about it in those terms. Are you being listened to? Are they really understanding your problem? If a plumber comes into your house and you’re like, ‘I really think there’s a leak somewhere. But we hear this over here,’ and they’re like, ‘okay, here’s a cost estimate for all brand new copper piping.’ You’re like, ‘no, that’s not what I’m asking you for.’ Katie Robbert – 26:42 The key in these interviews, if you’re looking to bring on an AI expert, is: are they really listening to you and are they really understanding the problem that’s going to demonstrate their level of expertise? Christopher S. Penn – 26:54 Yep. And if you’re growing your own experts, sit down with the people that you want to become experts and A) ask them if they want to do it—that part does matter. And then B) ask them. You can use AI for this. It’s a phenomenal use case for it, of course. What is your learning journey going to be? How are you going to focus your learning so that you solve the problems? The purpose that we’ve outlined: ‘yeah, our organization, we know that our sales is our biggest blockage or finance is our biggest blockage or whatever.’ Start there and say, ‘okay, now your learning journey is going to be focused on how is AI being used to solve these kinds of problems. Dig into the technologies, dig into best practices and things.’ Christopher S. Penn – 27:42 But just saying, ‘go learn AI’ is also a recipe for disaster. Katie Robbert – 27:47 Yeah. Because, what about AI? Do you need to learn prompt engineering? Do you need to learn the different use cases? Do you need to learn the actual how the models work, any algorithms? Or, pick a thing—pick a Decepticon and go learn it. But you need to be specific. Are you a Transformer or are you a Decepticon? And which one do you need to learn? That’s going to be my example from now on, Chris, to try to explain AI because they sound like technical terms, and in the wrong audience, someone’s going to think I’m an AI expert. So I think that’s going to be my test. Christopher S. Penn – 28:23 Yes. Comment guide on our LinkedIn. Katie Robbert – 28:27 That’s a whole. Christopher S. Penn – 28:29 All right, so, wrapping up whether you buy or build—which is effectively what we’re discussing here—for AI expertise, you’ve got to go through the 5Ps first. You’ve got to build some user stories. You’ve got to think about the skills that are not AI, that the person needs to have: critical thinking, good communication, the ability to ask great questions, the ability to learn quickly inside and outside of their domain, the ability to be essentially great employees or contractors, no matter what—whether it’s a plumber, whether it’s a doctor, whether it’s an AI expert. None of that changes. Any final parting thoughts, Katie? Katie Robbert – 29:15 Take your time. Which sounds counterintuitive because we all feel that AI is changing so rapidly that we’re falling behind. Now is the time to take your time and really think about what it is you’re trying to do with AI. Because if you rush into something, if you hire the wrong people, it’s a lot of money, it’s a lot of headache, and then you end up having to start over. We’ve had talks with prospects and clients who did just that, and it comes from ‘we’re just trying to keep up,’ ‘we’re trying to do it quickly,’ ‘we’re trying to do it faster,’ and that’s when mistakes are made. Christopher S. Penn – 29:50 What’s the expression? ‘Hire slow, fire fast.’ Something along those lines. Take your time to really make good choices with the people.

Quackcast 739 - Deferring to Experts

The QuackCast

Artwork from Key of Dreams When you're working on a project with other people, a comic collaboration for example, it's usually best to decide on different roles for everyone according to what they're best at (writer, artist, layout design, pencils, inks, colour, backgrounds lettering etc), and let them handle it. You don't micromanage and make decisions for them. Basically they're the “experts” on those things now so you wait and see what they do. The idea for this Quackcast came to me after someone defended the super clunky Star Wars prequels with the old argument that George Lucas created them and he also created the original Star Wars so he must know best and certainly better than any “haters”. In reality though the prequels are an excellent example of why you MUST defer to people who know better. The original trilogy of Star Wars movies were created at a time when George was still a small fish in a big pond, he wasn't powerful or rich enough to have much control in the industry at that stage. He came up with great ideas (Star Wars, Indiana Jones etc), but had to rely on the studio system to get them made, which meant he had to collaborate with people who's job it was to make great movies: directors, script editors, Foley artists, casting directors, concept designers, model makers etc. As well as studio execs and producers. He had to compromise on what was feasible. But after the massive success of the movies, making a mint off of the sale of IP and merchandising, and his SFX studio Industrial Light and Magic being the industry standard, many years later when Luca worked on the prequels he had unrivalled power. He didn't have to defer to anyone anymore, he didn't have to collaborate or make compromises. He was the last word and he knew best… Except he didn't. In the years since he made those initial movies he hadn't directed much or written many scripts and the Prequels show that all too well with bad dialogue, clunky direction, bad plot choices etc. He even got rid of his expert model makers and all the work they did and used CGI instead because it gave him more control. TL,DR: The original Star Wars were good because they were made as collaborative projects by very experienced people while the prequels were mainly controlled by a guy who lacked a lot of expertise and it shows. The Dunning Kruger effect makes us think we're experts in things we only know a little about, ALL of us suffer from it constantly, even me, but when you've had some success in a field: that gives you confirmation bias that “proves” you really ARE an expert. This was Lucas's position during the prequels. I've worked in 2 collabs recently, Bottomless Waitress with Banes and Key of Dreams with Tantz and Banes. On both those projects we all have distinct roles and we stuck with them very easily! We worked within them and didn't ever bump into each other or try and take over anyone's role and so these are good examples of smooth collaborations which produce results people like. Bands are great examples of collaborative projects, especially when they're working with people who all get the chance to shine and handle their own roles. This is why I love Led zeppelin so much: back in the day Jimmy Page was the band leader and lead guitarist but he let each member handle what they were best at in their own way so it worked as a group of collaborative experts and you can really hear that in the sound! I ramble because I'm tired and I have a headache but I think this is an interesting point: You can't be an expert at everything so when you work with others let them handle what they do best and you do what you do best. There are many examples of great collaborative projects where many people working on them are great at what they do and come together to produce something magical. Some of my faves are Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (rock opera), Led Zeppelin, The Life of Brian, The Empire Strikes Back and more… What are yours? This week it's another best off from Gunwallace!

Charles Darwin once wrote that “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge”, and real-life situations which reflect that are all too common. To cite just one prominent example, in January 1995, American men MacArthur Wheeler and Clifton Earl Johnson were arrested after carrying out coordinated bank robberies in the state of Pennsylvania. Incredibly, they didn't bother wearing masks, as they believed that rubbing lemon juice on their faces would make them invisible to security cameras. Actually no, but bear with me; I'm getting there. The case got a lot of media coverage, and piqued the curiosity of social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger at Cornell University. They wanted to know how on earth someone could be so damn sure of themselves while believing something completely stupid. Where does this effect come from?

Today, we're talking about a new phenomenon that affects social interactions. Phubbing is something we've all likely experienced or done ourselves at some point. The term is a portmanteau of "phone" and "snubbing", and refers to the act of looking at your phone instead of paying attention to someone else in a social situation. It's becoming increasingly common as our reliance on our mobile devices continues to grow. The term was first introduced in 2012 by Australian advertising agency Maccann Erickson, as part of a campaign for the Macquarie Dictionary. The “A Word is Born” campaign was designed to demonstrate that language is constantly evolving and hence having an up-to-date dictionary is important. Where does the term come from?

In this deeply empathetic episode, Frank Vasquez responds to a listener who's lost nearly everything through leveraged investments caught in market turmoil. His compassionate yet practical response offers a roadmap back from financial devastation, emphasizing that starting from net worth zero with income potential creates a foundation many successful investors have built upon.The conversation shifts to examining the psychology behind financial social media, where Frank taxonomizes poster behaviors into revealing categories. From genuine question-askers to Dunning-Kruger sufferers repeating harmful advice from financial media marketing materials disguised as guidance, this analysis helps listeners navigate confusing information landscapes. His take on affirmation-seekers posting humble brags or seeking validation for poor decisions provides particular insight into why certain destructive financial ideas persist online.With inflation concerns mounting due to potential tariffs and immigration restrictions, Frank offers practical portfolio protection strategies beyond traditional TIPS, which merely help investors tread water rather than outperform during inflationary periods. His breakdown of managed futures, commodities, value-tilted stocks in hard assets, and property/casualty insurance companies provides actionable alternatives. The discussion culminates in comparing investment theorist Paul Merriman's value-tilted ETF recommendations with Frank's diversification approach using Shannon's Demon principles, demonstrating how different philosophical frameworks can lead to successful long-term investing.What distinguishes this episode is Frank's ability to balance technical expertise with emotional intelligence, offering not just investment strategies but wisdom about resilience and perspective during financial hardship. Whether you're recovering from losses or preparing for economic uncertainty, this episode delivers both tactical guidance and reassuring wisdom from someone who's weathered financial storms himself.Have questions?

[WEEKENED RECAP 04-05-25] I often wondered if Leftism had a syndrome or something, so I looked it up. Leftism is defined in part by the Dunning-Kruger effect. The Dunning-Kruger effect is the scientific term for "clueless people who think they're experts." It's the reason your uncle at Thanksgiving rants about geopolitics despite never having left his hometown, or why that guy on Twitter with 12 followers declares himself a "thought leader."As Charles Darwin (who definitely didn't suffer from this) once wrote: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." In other words: The less someone knows about a subject, the more certain they are about the subject. How It Works (Or, More Accurately, How It Fails) Psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger proved something obvious but depressing: The worst performers are the least capable of recognizing their own incompetence. That's why they consistently view themselves as better, more capable, and more knowledgeable than others.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Today, we unpack the book "Think Again" by Adam Grant.In this book profile, we explore the transformative power of rethinking and why our ability to change our minds may be our most valuable skill in a rapidly changing world. Charles breaks down Grant's compelling case for intellectual humility and how clinging to outdated knowledge and beliefs can limit our potential. Through practical examples and research-backed insights, the episode reveals how leaders, innovators, and individuals can cultivate the habit of questioning what they know and embrace the uncomfortable but rewarding process of continuous learning.Key topics include:• The three mental modes that prevent rethinking - preacher, prosecutor, and politician - and why we should adopt the scientist mindset instead• How misplaced confidence and the Dunning-Kruger effect lead even intelligent people to overestimate their knowledge• The difference between harmful relationship conflict and productive task conflict in debates and disagreements• Techniques for changing minds effectively without triggering defensiveness or psychological reactance• Why stereotypes limit our thinking and how to break free from binary biases that oversimplify complex realitiesLearn from Charles's breakdown how to detach your identity from your opinions, escape the trap of certainty, and create learning cultures that value rethinking over being right.

[EP 25-131] I'm going to discuss the old saying, “You don't know what you don't know.” I looked it up and it's called The Dunning-Kruger effect. It's a nuanced version of that earlier statement, more akin to “people who know the least think they know the most.” I will use the Trump haters as an example.Don't like Trump, I understand. Sometimes we just don't like people. That's natural. Sometimes it's the way they remind us of someone else whom we've dealt with.But generally speaking, we can learn to overlook that if the person performs. Now “performs” is a matter of opinion. So what's good for Conservatives may not be perceived as good for Leftists, whom I will be picking on soon. But is there a universal truth on which we should all agree regardless of politics? Conservatives certainly think so. Limited government. Accountability. And so on. But delving one layer deeper, don't you think all people agree that vicious criminals should be locked up. Or in the case of illegals, deported?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that refers to the tendency of individuals with low ability or expertise in a particular domain to overestimate their competence and mistakenly believe they possess above-average skills. At the same time, those who are highly skilled or knowledgeable in a specific area tend to underestimate their abilities and assume others are equally capable.The effect was first identified by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999 through a series of experiments. They found that people who performed poorly on tasks related to humor, grammar, and logic consistently rated their abilities higher than they actually were. Conversely, individuals who performed well on these tasks tended to underestimate their performance relative to others.The Dunning-Kruger effect can be attributed to a lack of metacognitive skills, which refers to one's ability to accurately evaluate their own competence. Incompetent individuals often fail to recognize their own limitations because they lack the necessary expertise to accurately assess their own performance. This leads them to overestimate their abilities and be unaware of their shortcomings.Another contributing factor to the Dunning-Kruger effect is the cognitive bias of illusory superiority.This bias causes individuals to believe they are better than average in various aspects of life, regardless of their actual skill level. This bias is particularly strong among those with limited knowledge or experience in a particular area.Interestingly, as individuals gain more expertise and knowledge in a specific domain, they tend to become more aware of the complexities and nuances involved.This increased awareness leads to a more accurate self-assessment of their abilities and often results in a decrease in overconfidence.The implications of the Dunning-Kruger effect can be far-reaching. Incompetent individuals who overestimate their abilities may take on tasks or responsibilities beyond their capabilities, leading to poor decision-making or ineffective performance. Additionally, the effect can hinder individuals from seeking feedback or further education, as they believe they already possess sufficient expertise.In this episode, we take a look at how this applies to the Jeffrey Epstein case and how the legacy media overall continues to miss the overall picture.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:What you WEREN'T told about Jeffery Epstein - TheBlazeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
