Today, I unpack a powerful idea from Ray Dalio’s Principles:

“To be effective, your need to be right must not be more important than your need to find out what’s true.”

How often are we more focused on proving ourselves right than actually learning something new?

This episode explores:

  • The difference between being right and being effective
  • Why pride in what you “think you know” limits your growth
  • How being fixated on your opinions blinds you to the truth and better decisions
  • The risk of surrounding yourself with yes-men and shutting down feedback
  • How to stay curious, collaborative, and open to course correction
  • What it really means to conform to reality and find the truth in both life and leadership

Whether you’re in a conversation, in conflict, working with customers, or trying to lead your team, this episode will challenge your mindset and help you spot your blind spots before they cost you your potential.

🔁 Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.
