Ever felt like you're following a faulty compass? We discuss the perils of relying on models for our decision-making, and how they can sometimes lead us astray. Models, like compasses, are tools that help us navigate the complex terrain of life and business. However, we often forget that models, just like maps, aren't the actual territory. They can be laden with personal bias, societal conditioning, or erroneous assumptions that can skew our perspective and lead us off course.

Our episode takes a deep dive into the dangers of anchoring ourselves to these models. We discuss how even our fears and assumptions get baked into models, creating flawed formulas that yield deceptive outputs. We also draw on the infamous movie 'Glen Gary and Glen Ross' to emphasize the importance of model accuracy. By the end of our conversation, you'll comprehend why models must be read and interpreted with caution, and why remaining flexible and adaptable is key. So join us, as we chart a course through the treacherous waters of model-based decision making, learning to navigate with wisdom and discernment.
