E247 | How to Deal with Know-It-Alls

They’re that person who ALWAYS has the answers.

They’re full of all the facts and stats, and can’t help but spew them out as if they got punched in the “random facts jejunum” (Jackie Moon reference anyone?)

If you know someone like this, or even if this person is YOU, today’s quick hitter episode explains the different reasons why people may act this way, and how we can better manage our conversations with them.

Keep in mind that these are very general strategies.  At the end of the day, we want to help you learn HOW to think - not WHAT to think.  So as you utilize these tools, be sure to consider all the details of your context.

The more specific the situation, the better strategy you’ll create.
