Ep 94 The Roadmap to Expertise with Bob Blochinger

“An expert is somebody who knows what he's talking about through experience, training, and education. You cannot become an expert without all three.” - Bob Blochinger    As a guest for Episode 94 of The DYOJO Podcast, Bob Blochinger shares his thoughts on the roadmap to expertise. For a professional to seek and achieve expertise, they need to be able to:   Determine whether the information is reliable  Apply a scientific approach to their journey  Demonstrate a mastery of relevant knowledge   From his own experience Bob states, “Whatever questions, or problems, or whatever exists that needs explanation or evaluation, the expert needs to know what he's saying and how to explain it so that a regular person can understand.”  Josh Winton, aka IAQ Josh, and Pete Consigli join our panel discussion on the roadmap to expertise as well as some great educational events coming up in January 2023.    ON THIS EPISODE:  0:00 Podcast reviews with Ed and Jeff Cross   4:00 IAQ Josh joins the expertise discussion   5:56 Recap of contractor suing schools district for storm response   9:30 Bob Blochingers Pyramid of Expertise (great quote)   16:26 Expert witnesses and the Daubert Standard   21:54 Follow the damn instructions   25:12 Pete Consigli discusses 3 upcoming events in January 2023   Thursdays are for The DYOJO Podcast - helping contractors shorten their DANG learning curve for personal and professional development.           THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:        The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) is a professional certification and standard-development non-profit organization for the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industries.           Advocate Claim Service was founded to provide policyholders, brokers, and attorneys with a dedicated claim professional to develop a comprehensive claim presentation strategy.
