if you've got a point of view, or if you want to deliver a message to someone that you've constructed,

it kind of makes sense, doesn't it, that you would be the best person to deliver that message because after all you constructed it.

It's my idea so no one knows more about this idea than me because it's my idea so clearly I am the most knowledgeable person the

person best position to communicate that message but that's not necessarily

the case because we don't just listen to the knowledge or the expertise of someone

when we're determining whether or not we should listen to what they're gonna say

you know there's a whole host of other inferences that we actually make and so that's

that's the inherent challenge here is is that you

know when we construct these ideas we kind of figure that because because there are

ideas we're the best messenger and very often that's not the case.

That's a kind of difficult, there's a kind of ego depletion that occurs there isn't there,

you kind of like, have to kind of, you know, talk seriously to yourself and, you know, give yourself a bit of a telling off and say,

look, good idea, but you know, when it comes to big frames of family portraits above the fireplace,

sister's the best person

to deliver the message in that instance.

That were not the trumps.

That was the funniest way to put it for her. I'm Sreni Rao and this is the unmistakable Creative Podcast where you get a window into the stories
