10/31/24 • 45 min
What if everything we've been taught about expertise and leadership is wrong? Brand strategy veterans Elizabeth Talerman and Chelsea Carlson from The Nucleus Group challenge our obsession with expertise, revealing why being a "smart rookie" might be your greatest leadership asset. From their work with world-class brands to their own journey stepping into the spotlight, they make a compelling case for leading with questions instead of answers.
Through stories of punk rock radio days and kitchen table revolutions, discover why curiosity trumps certainty and how embracing wonder could be the antidote to our increasingly rigid business culture. Whether you're battling imposter syndrome or questioning traditional thought leadership approaches, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on why not having all the answers might be your superpower.
