We live in a world overflowing with experts—on every podcast, every article, every LinkedIn post. But here’s the problem: experts aren’t always right. In fact, history is filled with examples of experts being wrong, weaponized, or even bought and sold to push an agenda. In this episode of The Leadership Gambit, we dive into the uncomfortable truth about the expert problem. From politicized health advice to consultants selling recycled theories, to “experts” minted after a week-long course, we’ll unpack why credentials don’t always equal credibility and how you can sharpen your ability to see through the noise.

🎯 What’s in it for you:

• Learn how to spot when “experts” are being used as cover for bad corporate or political decisions.
• Understand the difference between real expertise and theory-only credentials.
• Discover how to protect yourself from biased, politicized, or for-sale expertise.
• Get practical ways to build your own filter so you know who (and what) to trust.

At the end of the day, you don’t need fewer experts, you need better tools to separate truth from noise. Tune in now and take back control of who gets to influence your decisions.
