Wisdom, Intelligence and Smarts: What are They and How To Get More
In this episode of Durand on Demand, Dave breaks down three qualities everyone wants — wisdom, intelligence, and smarts — and shows how they’re similar, how they’re different, and how you can grow in each.
Too often people settle for raw IQ or quick wit, but miss the deeper grounding of wisdom. Without it, even the brightest minds can lose their way. I’ll share:
✅ Why wisdom begins with ordering your life toward truth and purpose
✅ The difference between natural intelligence and how you actually develop it
✅ How “smarts” combine both wisdom and intelligence — and why pattern recognition is key
✅ The danger of bias (even Einstein fell into it) and how humility unlocks growth
✅ How to apply this in your daily life to make better decisions, lead well, and live with clarity
By the end, you’ll see why it’s not enough to be intelligent — you need wisdom to direct it and practical smarts to apply it.
