In this thought-provoking episode, the crew dives into the surprisingly complicated difference between knowing and believing. What does it actually mean to “know” something? Is belief just hope wrapped in confidence? And why do we often put more trust in what we believe rather than what we know through experience?



From flying planes to cooking, from spirituality to career choices, and from childhood memories to future selves, this conversation unpacks how our minds navigate certainty, doubt, confidence, and the stories we tell ourselves.



You’ll laugh, reflect, and probably rethink the way you describe your own abilities and choices.



Whether you’re walking in your knowing or still believing your way into your next chapter—this episode has gems for you.
