In a crossover with Danny McMillan's Seller Sessions, Steve walks through the Dunning-Kruger effect using the familiar confidence-versus-experience graph, and applies it directly to the Amazon seller space.
He and Danny discuss how confident, inexperienced "gurus" prey on sellers in the valley of despair, why fraud can be convincing even with seemingly solid documentation, and how trusting your gut alongside data helps avoid getting taken.
For Amazon sellers evaluating who to trust for advice, courses, or partnerships in a space full of overconfident voices.
