#29 – Mental models and heuristics – shortcuts to be more productive (Sam Corcos & Ben Grynol)

Some mental models are quick and easy – others are more complex. For Sam Corcos, co-founder and CEO of Levels, it's no surprise that he has many mental models – for pretty much every situation in life and business.
