Mental Models with Witty Prince

S2-EP7: Beware the Energy Drainers

There's a moment in Mark chapter 5 that most people read past without realizing what it reveals about how Jesus managed his energy. He was mid-crowd, mid-ministry... and the instant he felt energy leave his body, he stopped everything and demanded to know where it went. In this episode, we unpack that moment as a mental model for how to track, protect and account for your daily energy...and why the people who fail to do this often die far below their potential.

S2-EP6: Delay the Gratification

We've all heard "delayed gratification", but hearing it and actually building your life around it are two completely different things. In this episode, we break down why the most valuable things in life never pay out immediately, why the urge to announce your progress might be costing you more than you think and how to build a mindset that chooses long-term reward over short-term stimulation. A mental model for your money, your relationships, and your identity.

S2-EP5: Never Break Promises

Big goals are overrated. What actually moves the needle is whether you keep the small promises you make to yourself when no one is watching. In this episode, we break down why starting with tiny, achievable targets builds the mental track record you need before scaling up...and why consistently missing your own goals quietly programs your mind for disappointment. A practical mental model for building real self-trust.

S2-EP4: Time is Currency

What if you treated your time the way a billionaire treats money? In this episode, we explore the direct link between time and wealth, and why the biggest threat isn't wasting time on rest or enjoyment, but investing your time in things that feel productive but aren't. A sharp mental model for anyone who is long on time but still building toward financial freedom.

S2-EP3: Follow Your Passion?

"Follow your passion" is one of the most repeated pieces of advice out there...but what if we've been misunderstanding it all along? In this episode, we go back to the Latin root of the word passion, and it has nothing to do with love or enthusiasm. Passion means suffering. So the real question isn't what you love...it's what you're willing to suffer for. A reframe that might completely change how you think about your career, your work and what drives you.
