Success isn't always about making brilliant, lightning-fast decisions; more often than not, it is simply about making fewer stupid ones. The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham—the real-life mentor behind Rich Dad Poor Dad—is a practical guide designed to help founders and CEOs avoid the "stupid tax" that kills most startups.
Joining me today is David Hunt. David is a heavyweight in the clean energy space, the founder of Hyperion Search, and a strategic advisor to boards and VCs. Having spent 30 years watching founders scale and fail in complex markets, David pulls back the curtain on how he uses Cunningham's principles to navigate the high-stakes world of the energy transition.
In this episode, we dive into the life-changing practice of "Thinking Time," why your own optimism might be your greatest enemy, and the exact seven things a CEO should never, ever delegate.
