In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the often tumultuous journey of entrepreneurship, peeling back the curtain to reveal the unspoken realities that many of us face as we navigate our calling. Whether you're running a solo venture or leading a team, this episode is designed for you—especially if you identify as a creative. I begin by introducing the concept of the Dunning-Kruger effect, a psychological phenomenon that illustrates the relationship between confidence and knowledge. As we embark on new ventures, we often start with high confidence but little knowledge, which can lead to a rollercoaster of emotions as we learn and grow. I share my personal experiences, including the initial excitement of feeling called to a project, followed by the inevitable doubts and challenges that arise as we confront the reality of what we don’t know.
