NonTrivial
NonTrivial is a podcast about the patterns that exist at the intersection of science, philosophy and complexity, and how these speak to universal principles related to skills, growth and life.
The longer you listen, the more you’ll internalize these universal principles and see how they inform your work, your ideas, and the way you shape the world around you.

Going Deep Without Going Slow
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if trying to do everything properly is exactly why you never finish anything?
Going deep doesn't have to mean going slow. In this episode, I explain why mastering every detail from the beginning is often the wrong approach, and how working in layers lets you build deeper understanding while moving faster.
The key is simple: Get your depth through structural iteration, not sequential completion.
