What if your greatest ideas are being blocked by assumptions you didn’t even know you had? 🤯

In this thought-provoking episode of Open My Mind (OMM), we explore first principles thinking — a problem-solving method championed by Elon Musk that challenges conventional wisdom by breaking ideas down to their fundamental building blocks. 🧱🧪

💡 What you'll discover:

Why most of us default to reasoning by analogy — and how it limits usHow to use physics-style thinking to spark true innovationReal-world examples: Cheaper batteries, reusable rockets, & unexpected breakthroughsWhy critical thinking means testing your assumptions (aka your axioms)How understanding probabilities instead of certainties puts you in control 🎲

Whether you're building the next big thing, tackling a personal challenge, or just trying to think clearer, this episode gives you the tools to reframe, rethink, and reason from the ground up. 🔍
