Steve and Kristin ask a big question: are we living through the "death of expertise?" Inspired by a conversation from Point Taken, they discuss why audiences increasingly trust influencers and personalities over experts, what that means for politics, science, and media, and whether we've become too comfortable surrounding ourselves with voices that simply reinforce our own beliefs. Along the way, the conversation becomes unexpectedly personal, touching on imposter syndrome, masculinity, intellectual humility, and why admitting you're wrong may be one of the hardest—and most important—things we can do.
