Professional Balance: Smartest Person Or The Wrong Room #SaturdayMorningHustle Bonus Content #SaturdayMorningHustle Podcast

    • Entrepreneurship

Welcome to episode 22 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. You might have heard “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room” before. This quote, and many variations of it, have been attributed to various leaders pointing at the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are more intelligent than you — or capable of challenging you to "level up". But, if you're striving to be the best at what you do, it's very possible you might be the smartest person in a room, depending on the circumstance. Being an expert, authority or "smartest" on a particular topic is a good thing. This allows you to provide value or a challenge to the rest of the occupants of the (real, virtual or other) room.

Today we will discuss how to balance when you're the student and when you're the master. It's OK to be the smartest person in the room, just not every room you spend time in. You can have great confidence without being an imposter (last episode) and be a leader while still learning from others.

This long-form audio-only podcast is posted on the last Monday of every month as an opportunity to dive deep into the issues that challenge all entrepreneurs, business owners, career builders and decision-makers. "How to balance what seems to be contradictory viewpoints” in business and personal life. More than just work/life balance, we examine a variety of “this or that” scenarios.

Thanks for listening to the “Professional Balance” bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. I will be back next month with a new topic and a new podcast every Saturday with Hustle and Motivation advice from the office while the competition is still sleeping. Please subscribe, leave a review and comment on social media about what balance issues you would like to hear discussed on this series. www.SaturdayMorningHustle.com
