In this Wisdom Wednesday episode, I dive deep into a dangerous mindset many smart people fall victim to — being toosmart for their own good. If you’ve ever felt like your degrees or knowledge should automatically earn you respect or success, this one’s for you.

I explore how relying too heavily on book smarts can actually limit your awareness, kill your self-awareness, and make you less approachable. I break down 5 hard truths about intellectual arrogance and how it can quietly sabotage your growth — in business, relationships, and life.

You’ll also hear how a Bible verse and a powerful Socrates quote shook me out of my own ignorance — and how leaning less on my own understanding helped me rebuild my mindset (and my finances) after hitting a major low.

Whether you're chasing financial freedom, building a brand, or leveling up in life, this episode will help you adopt the wisdom, humility, and curiosity you need to grow — and get out of your own way.

👉 If you're a young entrepreneur or ambitious creative who’s been stuck thinking, “I should know this by now,” tune in — this perspective shift might just change everything.
