Show Notes

We live in a world obsessed with answers. Experts are everywhere—on stages, in feeds, in meetings—ready to tell us what to do. But what is an expert, really? And are we giving up our ability to think in exchange for a comforting voice of authority?

In this episode, André Daus challenges the modern concept of expertise. Drawing from real-life stories, business frustrations, and philosophical questions, he unpacks what happens when “experts” are rewarded more for confidence than for competence. Why do we fear complexity? Why do we worship certainty? And how do we start thinking again?

This is not a conversation about dismantling knowledge—it’s an invitation to deepen it.

If you’ve ever been told to “just trust the process,” this episode is for you.
