Pythagorean Theorem, Hot Sauce Packets, and an Expert Exploration

What actually makes someone an expert?

In this episode, we spiral from dictionary definitions into cellos being thrown in bars, empathy as a skill set, and why curiosity matters more than credentials. We talk instant expertise fantasies, the skills people claim to know, the ones they want to learn, and the reality of our math teachers being wrong. (We do have computers in our pockets)

From being a terrible waiter to candle scent mastery, millennial learning to hot sauce packet obsessions—this episode asks the real question:

Is being an expert about knowing everything… or knowing how to keep asking better questions?
