August 16, 2026

What if staying calm in an uncertain world came down to three simple rules?In this episode, I explore Dan Sullivan’s “Geometry” for staying cool and calm—a simple framework built around three ideas:Everything is made up.Nobody’s in charge.Life isn’t fair.At first, these might sound funny. But taken together, they can actually be incredibly freeing.If everything around us was ultimately invented by someone, we’re free to invent something better. If nobody is really in charge, we don’t need to wait for permission. And if life isn’t fair, we can stop expecting reality to conform to our expectations and focus instead on what we can actually control.A short episode about uncertainty, entrepreneurship, expectations, and a useful mental model for staying calm when things don’t go according to plan.https://amzn.to/3SyqrkJ
