Description

#223: Most people try to avoid chaos—uncertainty, complexity, unpredictability. But chaos isn’t the enemy. It’s the game.

Get ready to learn why nothing stays the same (entropy is always pulling you down), why small beginnings echo into massive results, how to build positive feedback loops that accelerate growth, why tiny advantages compound into huge outcomes, plus a lot more…
