Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Barn Philosopher, Shelby and Ridge take a hard look at what it means to be an “expert” these days. With the internet overflowing with advice, tutorials, and self-proclaimed gurus, how do we know who to trust? And what happens when the person with the most likes isn't the person with the most knowledge?
Shelby shares a story about a well-meaning mistake—someone ignored expert advice in favor of an internet how-to with lots of views... and things didn’t go so well. We talk about the tension between healthy skepticism and outright dismissal, the danger of overconfidence, and the new digital age of polished, over-edited "expertise" that can hide the real work behind true mastery.
Whether you're the expert, know one, or just Googled your way into a disaster—this one’s for you.
