In a world obsessed with being the smartest person in the room, the most successful leaders are discovering something counterintuitive: wisdom eclipses intelligence every time.  Being Smart Is Stupid reveals why ego-driven, hyperanalytical leadership is creating toxic cultures, burned-out teams, and unsustainable success—and offers a proven alternative that's both more effective and more fulfilling.

About Guest:  Tricia Brouk

Tricia Brouk is the Founder of three companies, Brouk Moves, an in-home personal training company that she started in 1993, The Big Talk, a professional development platform for speakers and thought-leaders that she started in 2017, and The Wise Leopard, a life-style brand for women of a certain age, while at the time of writing this book is currently developing a new product that will go to market in 2026.

She has coached thousands of speakers including former Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman and New York City mayoral candidate Kathryn Garcia. Her work with speakers is featured on Amazon Prime in the documentary Big Stages, and she has worked with actors including Kelly Reilly, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, and James Gandolfini. A lifelong student of Buddhism, she lives in New York City with her husband Joe Ricci and their fur baby Eva Moon.

When she’s not coaching clients, writing, directing, or starting a new company, she’s in a cabana by the ocean with Joe being reminded of how much bigger than us it actually all is.
