The Confident Fool and the Quiet Expert: How the World Rewards the Wrong Kind of Certainty

  • サマリー

  • Why do the loudest voices so often rise—while the most capable hesitate in the shadows?

    In this episode of Mind the Gap, Michael Comyn explores the strange tension between Impostor Syndrome and the Dunning-Kruger Effect. One causes deeply competent people to question their worth, while the other leads the unskilled to overestimate theirs. Somewhere in between is the path to real confidence.

    Drawing from Stoic philosophy, emotional intelligence, and modern psychology, Michael unpacks the stories we tell ourselves about competence—and why society often rewards the wrong kind of certainty.

    Along the way, we meet the archetypal Irish “chancer,” revisit the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, and discover practical strategies for reclaiming grounded self-belief in a world full of bravado.

    Whether you're the Quiet Expert or working with a Confident Fool, this episode offers insights and tools to help you lead with clarity, courage, and self-awareness.
