First Principles


We don’t have a new First Principles episode this week, but we do have something special for you.

If you’ve enjoyed this podcast, you’ve already built a curiosity for mental models that force you to look at the world differently. To break down complex problems from the ground up. To analyse and synthesise.

This, precisely, is also what the First Principles newsletter is about.

Each Sunday, this newsletter will bring fresh insights into how accomplished founders, leaders, and changemakers apply First Principles thinking to see the world differently and remake it in their vision.
