Secrets to Being Smarter, Faster, with Arun Pradhan
Show Notes

In this episode of L&D Go Beyond podcast, Amit Garg, Founder & CEO of Upside Learning Solutions speaks with Arun Pradhan, Co-Founder, ModelThinkers on Secrets to Being Smarter, Faster.

Arun says that ModelThinkers is a buy-in from Charlie Munger’s thought of making a bigger impact by developing a latticework of mental models. Most people, typically, while trying to solve a problem or work out something, are unconsciously referring to their mental model. However, they are unaware of how they actually arrived at the conclusion. On the other hand, someone who is trying to be smarter and more innovative will have a whole toolkit of options. According to Arun, the interesting stuff often happens at the intersection between those frameworks. It’s like as building a bigger repository of mental models, e.g., consuming books and lessons which is one way of clicking the mental models and what recipes we can make with these different concepts to make a bigger impact. So being much more deliberate and conscious about collecting and using these mental models/frameworks is one way that you can be smarter and faster.

Here are the key takeaways from this podcast-

  • Defining a mental model and their application in cross-disciplines.
  • Understanding current mental models from L&D perspective and getting smarter in selecting from among these mental models.
  • Applying relevant mental model type vis-à-vis things or tasks that we or audience want to achieve.
  • Collecting or stealing big ideas from the big disciplines and experimenting it your context.
