What if the secret to progress wasn’t thinking harder, but experimenting smaller?

In this sneak peek from the We Have A Meeting Podcast, neuroscientist and founder of Ness Labs Anne-Laure Le Cunff shares how to escape the trap of overthinking and perfectionism by treating your life like a series of tiny experiments.

Anne-Laure explains why ambitious people often get stuck in their heads, how to build momentum through action, and what happens when you let go of the need to “get it right.”

00:00 - Why ambitious people overthink
00:40 - “Stop thinking about it. Start experimenting.”
02:15 - Why small experiments work
03:40 - The “maximalist brain” trap
04:30 - Learning what’s truly for you

“You’re not aiming to succeed — you’re aiming to learn.”

Watch the full episode soon on We Have A Meeting Podcast and learn how neuroscience, curiosity, and self-awareness can help you think better, live better, and redefine success.
