EP 479: A Theory of Resourcefulness


Listen Later

You've probably heard of a scarcity mindset. Maybe you've even been accused of having one!

In this short, I explore the false binary of scarcity and abundance mindsets to propose a third way: resourcefulness.

Footnotes:

  • "Thought-terminating cliché" on Wikipedia
  • Adam Tooze on The Ezra Klein Show
  • Information on the US tax gap
  • "Breaking boundaries to creatively generate value" in The Journal of Business Venturing
