Marcus built his career on being the visionary with the answers. But in one meeting, his $250M project is revealed to be a catastrophic failure. His CEO's diagnosis is brutal: "You've been defending this position for six months... You didn't think again. You just thought harder about why you were right".


This is the prison of certainty. This immersive narrative brings Adam Grant's "Think Again" to life, telling the story of a leader who learned that his greatest strength—his certainty—had become his "most dangerous liability".


In this episode, you will discover:

  • THE 4 MODES OF THINKING: Why we get trapped in "Preacher" (proselytizing), "Prosecutor" (attacking), and "Politician" (campaigning) modes instead of the one that finds the truth: "Scientist" mode (testing hypotheses) .


  • THE PRE-MORTEM: The practical tool of "enthusiastically killing your own idea" to find fatal flaws before you launch, and why you must build a "Challenge Meeting" culture.


  • CONFIDENT HUMILITY: How to practice the "sweet spot" —being confident in your ability to learn, while remaining humble about your current conclusions.


  • THE JOY OF BEING WRONG: How to decouple your identity from your ideas , and why leaders who admit uncertainty are often seen as more competent, not less.


  • THE REAL FAILURE: Why "pivoting isn't failure. Staying on the wrong path is failure".
