  • The Map We Know is a Lie

    The Map We Know is a Lie
    Nov 17 2025

    We all have a map of the world in our heads. For most of us, it's this long, rectangular map with Greenland looking the size of Africa. That's called the Mercator projection. And it's a lie that's been shaping our decisions and skewing our bias without us even knowing it. Your mental map is 500 years out of date & this distortion affects your business strategy, your view of global news, and your understanding of power.


    In this episode, we discuss Cartographic Literacy - the practical guide you need to see the world clearly. And we introduce our newest course of the same title.


    See the world outside of the matrix.

  • The Courage to be Wrong

    The Courage to be Wrong
    Nov 9 2025

    The Emotional Gauntlet of Taking a Chance


    "Fail fast" is easy to say. But what about the emotional whiplash that comes after? The journey from being called naive or ignorant, to being seen as a joke, to being labeled arrogant or delusional is the real test every innovator faces.


    In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the intense human side of entrepreneurship. We explore the silent costs of taking a chance—the ridicule, the pressure, the attacks on your conviction—and provide a practical toolkit for building the resilience you need to persevere.


    Learn how to shield your mindset, protect your "why," and navigate the backlash until your work speaks for itself. Listen now and fortify yourself for the journey ahead.
