About this episode

Keith and Doug discuss the difference between believing something and it being true, sharing personal experiences that challenged their long-held opinions.

Keith and Doug learned the hard way that being sure of something and being right are two different things. This week, they name three things they believed for years, and none of them held up. Keith Tyner and Doug Shrieve open up about opinions they held onto for too long. Doug avoided the weight room for years, then swung from insecurity to overconfidence before landing on humility. Keith misjudged a stranger's parenting, misread his own father, and misunderstood what clients actually want from an advisor. They trace how fear shapes what people believe, why competition doesn't have to mean someone loses, and what changed their minds along the way. Key Topics: • What kept Doug out of the weight room for most of his life • How a different view of competition changed the way Keith sees success • Why being wrong about the same thing twice is worse than being wrong once • What an accidental $2,500 auction bid taught Keith about humility • How a neighbor's yard sent Doug down a rabbit hole about marketing and memory If you've ever wondered whether you're still holding onto an opinion that stopped being true a long time ago, this conversation is worth the drive. 👉 Work with us…
