Ever caught yourself pretending to know what's going on just so you don't look stupid?

Maybe in a meeting. On a date. With family. With clients. Someone asks a question and suddenly the brain goes into overdrive trying to come up with literally anything except "I don't know."

Because admitting you don't know something feels like you're somehow failing.

This episode dives into the real reason "I don't know" feels so uncomfortable, how to stop spiraling when you don't have the answer, and how to gain trust and respect when you don't have all the answers. Let's dive in!
