EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

An unfiltered look at how emotion has replaced facts, why smart people share misinformation, and the defensiveness that erupts when challenged. Exploring cognitive dissonance, integrity gaps, and the psychology behind our certainty. I challenge you to listen to this episode, especially if it makes you uncomfortable.
