In this episode, Carl explores an important distinction in the craft of advice: Experts are useful when we need answers, but peers may be far more valuable when we need to change. Drawing on his experience with structured peer groups, he reflects on why behavior change often requires autonomy, reflection, accountability, and repeated practice rather than more expertise. It’s a thoughtful look at when to teach, when to step back, and how creating the right conditions can help people discover and act on their own answers.
