In this episode, we explore the powerful mental model of Creativity Through Constraints, using the story of Pixar’s groundbreaking film Toy Story as a prime example. Facing massive technological limitations in the mid-90s, Pixar could have easily been overwhelmed by the challenges of creating the first-ever fully computer-animated feature film. Instead, they embraced these constraints, turning them into an opportunity for innovation. By simplifying their designs, focusing on character development, and prioritizing emotional connection over technical perfection, Pixar not only revolutionized animation but also demonstrated how limitations can fuel extraordinary creativity. Tune in to discover how you can apply this mental model to your own challenges—whether in sports, business, or personal growth—and unlock your most innovative potential.
