Summary

So many people don't understand why they aren't where they want to be. Yet others all around them are moving forward, getting pay raises, new opportunity, receiving recognition etc.

It's not until we realize how little we actually know are we able to position ourselves for growth.

In this episode Chris breaks down the Dunning–Kruger effect, a cognitive bias in psychology which proves people assess their cognitive ability as being far greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability, hence impairing their ability to evolve.

One of the most fascinating episodes to date, you’ll learn how critical humility, having the proper mindset and utilizing the feedback that’s all around us truly is as it relates to the forward progress in our lives!

0:48.9	it's, it's something that, you know, when when I read about this, you know, a couple years back,
0:55.2	it really opened up my eyes to a lot of things and completely change my perspective and
1:01.9	really made me realize how little I actually knew in the grand scheme of things. And, you know,
1:09.5	when you guys hear that, you might think that that's a bad thing. Like, but it's actually not because it's not until we come to terms
1:17.6	and accept how little we actually know. Are we then able to start actually growing and evolving, doing better, doing more, and creating, you know, new results

1:38.3	actually believe that we're just crushing it with everything that we do and that we know
1:42.4	everything about, you know, anything that we deal with
