You’ll find audio on the From Expertise to Authority podcast.

Most professionals hesitate to share their expertise not because they lack knowledge, but because they're measuring themselves against the wrong standard. In this episode, Matty explores the difference between the peer comparison trap—scanning horizontally to see how you stack up against colleagues—and the more useful vertical measure: what do you know, and is there someone who needs it? Drawing on a conversation with USA Today bestselling author Sara Rosett, who wrestled with this question even after publishing her first dozen books, Matty makes the case that you don't have to be the world's foremost authority. You just have to be a little further down the road than the people you're trying to help.
