When street smarts and book smarts exist in the same family, amazing wisdom unfolds. Marco “Rabbit” Arellano fell in love with lowriders at a young age and, over a lifetime, built a knowledge system of mechanics, STEM, innovation, and advocacy. Raised in the community her father built, Dr. Bianca Guzman-Arellano took this knowledge out of the garage and into the world of academia. Join us as we explore knowledge and wisdom that exists outside of the classroom.

Episode 10: Knowledge vs Wisdom
In this episode of Don’t Know, we explore the question of what separates knowledge from wisdom. Guest Brandon Gillette, a philosopher at MCC–Blue River, joins us to examine how wisdom emerges through lived experience, relationships, reflection, curiosity, and the willingness to truly listen to others. This episode invites listeners to consider whether knowing more necessarily makes us wiser—and to reflect on the people, experiences, conversations, and uncertainties that shape not just what we know, but how we become knowers.
