Expertise Vs. Mastery

Are you an expert? How do you gain expertise while still learning? Are there too many people claiming to be experts that don't know what they're talking about.

Pro member Alec Miller debates with Chris the language that is being used by creatives that is misleading. Alec disagrees vehemently with the sentiment "Fake it til you make it." He believes in brutal honesty.


12:13 - If you do something good, they tell one person. If you do something bad, they tell ten people.
28:20 - Are you an expert if someone else claims that you're an expert.
30:49 - Alec critiques people who teach but don't have the work to back it up. He mentions Roberto Blake.
