About this episode

In this episode, we explore Donella H. Meadows's Thinking in Systems to uncover why our most persistent problems are caused by underlying structures rather than isolated external events. We break down core concepts like stocks, flows, feedback loops, and leverage points to help you map out and understand the complex dynamics shaping your world. Tune in to learn how to move beyond simply reacting to short-term crises and start finding the structural leverage points to design systems that produce the outcomes you actually want.
