Episode Title: Stolen Valor and Borrowed Brilliance
In this episode of The Barn Philosopher, Ridge and Shelby dive into the topic of stolen valor—not just in the military sense, but in all areas of life where people claim honors, experience, or expertise they haven't earned. From fake war stories to people pretending to be pros in fields they barely understand, we unpack what drives this need to seem accomplished and how it erodes real trust.
We also reflect on the awards we've received and why they don’t mean as much to us as the actual work and growth behind them. It's a conversation about integrity, imposters, and what really gives value to our words and achievements.
