In this episode, I explore a fundamental truth that plays out across every field: simplicity is mastery.

We watch the ambitious MBA graduate design an elaborate business strategy while the seasoned entrepreneur focuses on one thing and does it exceptionally well. We see the aspiring chef juggle exotic ingredients while the master chef transforms simple elements—salt, heat, and time—into something extraordinary.

This pattern repeats everywhere:

• The elite athlete masters the fundamentals, while the beginner clings to complexity.
• The skilled negotiator wins with silence, not argument.
• The best investors choose focus, not chaos.

So why do we keep making things more complicated than they need to be?
