About this listen

We live in a world obsessed with having the answer. Saying “I don’t know” feels risky—like weakness, like failure, like you’re falling behind.

But what if that’s all wrong?

In this episode of Hard Truths, we flip the script on certainty. We dive deep into the pressure to perform knowledge, the psychology behind false confidence, and why saying “I don’t know” might be the most powerful thing you can say.

🎯 Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why pretending to know actually shuts down your growth

  • The science of intellectual humility and emotional trust

  • How to reframe “I don’t know” as strength, not shame

  • What Socrates, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and real-life experience all reveal about confidence

  • Four ways to start embracing your unknowns—and change your relationships, mindset, and growth forever

This isn’t just about honesty—it’s about freedom. Freedom from the pressure to perform. Freedom to grow in public. Freedom to say: “I don’t know” and let that be enough.

If you’re tired of faking it, if you’re craving clarity, if you’re ready to learn out loud—this one’s for you.
