What principles should guide advisors when asked for recommendations outside their domain expertise?

2026-04-18 · Marketing

Hi,

As you probably know by now, one of my principles is to avoid answering questions I don't know much about - and i'm afraid this is one. I just havn't been doing a marketing role for any of the companies I help, and just don't have firsthand experience with it.

Although I know I could simply ask Claude for a recommendation and cut and paste it here, I always want Wisen to be a platform that represents what the Mentors actualy think - not what their digital clones come up with.

sorry I can't help.

And to the team: we should have a way to refund people's hand raises when something like this happens.
