Episode Synopsis

Everyone loves to be right about things, but what can we learn from being wrong?

In this episode, we discuss what we can mine from being wrong as well as the perils of not being able to admit that you... just... might be wrong. Yep, even Rockne Cole gets it wrong (occasionally).

We cover the work of sports commentator Colin Cowherd, the philosophy of Karl Popper, and a book recommendation, Kathryn Schultz's book "Being Wrong."

I also share an moment of vindication by ISU Nobel Laureate, Dan Shechtman, about proving another Nobel Laureate to be 100% wrong.
