Being smart can actually slow you down if you’re not careful. In this episode, I explain how intelligence gives you more options, more angles, and more things to think about, but that can lead to delay. What looks like deep thinking is often just stalling and overthinking. The more you think without acting, the less you get done. I break down why execution matters more than extra thinking and how to stop letting your intelligence get in your way.

Show Notes:

[03:04]#1 Smart people over optimize before making commitments.

[07:08]#2 Intelligence provides endless justification for inaction.

[11:35]#3 Low intelligence moves faster because it feels pressure sooner.
