Episode #137: In this episode the twins break down why working harder isn’t the flex people think it is, why leverage is the real game. We talk about founders optimizing tools instead of distribution, creators confusing consistency with clarity, employees being efficient at the wrong things, and why productivity often hides fear. Using mental models inspired by Naval Ravikant and Alex Hormozi, we explore leverage, bottlenecks, second-order effects, and the uncomfortable decisions that actually move the needle.If you feel busy but stuck, this one will probably hurt in a good way.#Business #EntrepreneurMindset #StartupsLife #LeverageThinking #Creators #FoundersJourney #SelfImprovement #DecisionMaking #NFtwins
