Ways of Thinking

1 - Why changing the way you think will change you and the world

Navision — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 11:11:00 -0700

In this first introduction episode, I'm introducing the foundational ideas on which this 'course podcast' is based on. Everyone is already changing the world - including you - but for us to change the world where we want, we need to be intentional, we need to have a vision.

2 - Why innovations get away from what is usually done

Navision — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 11:11:00 -0700

In this second episode, I'm introducing our first Way of Thinking: First Principles Thinking. Too often, we default to "It's always been that way", or "that's just how people do it". First Principles Thinking goes beyond to see what needs to be done.

3 - Why complex problems are solved by complex systems

Navision — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 11:11:00 -0700

In this third episode, I'm introducing Systems thinking. Too often, we forget to see the big picture. Systems thinking allows us to better understand the complexity of the world, and how to solve its problems.

4 - Why it is our stories that shape the world

Navision — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:11:00 -0700

In this fourth episode, I'm introducing Narrative thinking. Too often, we forget all the stories that surround us and the power they have over us. Narrative thinking allows us to see through those stories. Are these stories used for someone else's benefit? Are you seeing only one side of a multi-faceted story?

5 - Why beliefs are stronger than we imagine

Navision — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 11:11:00 -0700

In this fifth episode, I'm introducing Spiritual Thinking. Most people reject the spiritual as woohoo, yet we forget that being spiritual beliefs is human nature. Spiritual thinking allows us to understand the power of belief, and instead of dismissing it, allows us to harness it. Are we too quick to dismiss what cannot be proven? Are there better ways to cope with the world we live in?

6 - Why we need more than knowledge for decisions

Navision — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 11:11:00 -0800

In this sixth episode, I'm introducing Scientific Thinking. We manage our world with science. Empirical evidence sounds like it's how we should make all of our decisions, but it has limitations. For one, these "evidence" are filled with biases. Scientific thinking allows us to see these limitations and use science in complement to intuition in making decisions. Are we listening to our models and devices more than we're listening to our experts? Should we seek diversity instead of uniformity?

7 - Why good enough lead to better results

Navision — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 11:11:00 -0800

In this seventh and last episode, I'm introducing Lean Thinking. Our world is full of waste. Transporting things across the globe that we could get in our backyard, the trash that we produce every day and burry in the ground, and our ideas that never get implemented. Using a lean way of thinking, by doing iterations of "Good enough", we end up achieving much better results, because we don't waste time building things that don't matter. Lean thinking allows us to cut down waste and to be more sustainable. Are we wanting to do too much at once, which is why we're failing? Is the waste in society hidden, making us unaware of it?
