What if the secret to better decisions isn't learning more frameworks, but trusting what you already know?

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the hidden world of mental models—the unconscious frameworks driving every business decision you make. Discover why 90% of startups fail while others seem to navigate challenges with supernatural clarity, and learn how to build your own decision-making system that actually works. We explore the dangerous trap of adopting other people's frameworks, the power of aligning your business with your core values, and why the best founders learn to think less stupidly rather than more cleverly. Plus, we tackle the destructive mental models that keep entrepreneurs frozen in critical moments and reveal a practical approach to codifying your own decision-making process.
