Time, Fuel, & Money
Time, Fuel, and Money is a podcast born from a shared moment of joyful human connection—one that sparked curiosity, wonder, and a deep appreciation for the world around us. Through conversations inspired by our love of cars, racing, timekeeping, and the energy in motion that drives progress, we explore the intersections of science, business, and money—not as cold, calculated elements, but as deeply personal experiences.
We believe that business is personal, that time is more than just numbers on a watch, and that speed is more than just physics—it’s emotion, ambition, and the thrill of the chase. Join us as we venture beyond the measurable, diving into the stories, ideas, and passions that fuel our lives.

Episode 6 - 🔄 00:00:00 — Think Fast, Move Slow: The Myth of Mastery & the Cost of Chasing Productivity
In this episode of Time, Fuel, and Money, Deborah, Vassili, and Karim explore our modern obsession with speed, success, and self-optimization — and what it may be costing us.
Inspired by the bestselling books Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, the conversation takes a thoughtful turn. Is the 10,000-hour rule still relevant?
Does fast thinking truly serve us, or does it distract us from deeper progress? And what role do emotions, energy, and intuition play in how we engage with time?
💡 Through the lens of neuroscience, real-life decision-making, and entrepreneurial urgency, the hosts challenge common productivity myths and consider how slowing down might actually help us go further.
👀 Along the way:
- The link between emotions and energy production 🧠⚡
- Why fear often disguises itself as urgency
- The risk of measuring time instead of meaning
- And how to harness your cognitive fuel with greater intention
🎯 Plus, a shoutout to Patrick Dempsey, prefrontal cortex hacks, Formula 1 metaphors, and how Vasili’s brain-boosting beverage ties it all together.
This episode is a reminder that mastery isn’t about moving faster—it’s about showing up with presence.
🎧 Tune in, slow down, and rethink how you spend your time.
