Summary

In this episode, I’m picking up on a topic we’ve been talking about—credibility, credentials, and who people choose to listen to. I’ve got a college degree in business from Pennsylvania State University, so I’m not speaking as someone who’s against education. But I’m asking a real question today: does a college degree actually mean you’re competent? Some folks with degrees might not like what I have to say, but I’m here to tell the truth. Let’s not delay the inevitable. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [02:28]#1 Holding a college degree does not make you competent. [10:47]#2 Having a degree or credential doesn’t automatically make your words valid or worth following. [20:06]#3 Your argument should stand on its own merit, not on your credentials or resume.
