About this listen
In launching this series on talent, it had me thinking…where do we start?
With that, we are re-broadcasting an episode with Allison Coward, an expert on #firstprinciples with the thought, why don't we start with what is, well, first.
First principles are the most fundamental, foundational truths or assumptions of a concept that cannot be deduced from anything more basic. First principles thinking (https://www.firstprinciples.ventures/insights/first-principles-the-foundations-of-innovation-and-growth) is a problem-solving method of breaking down a complex problem or idea into these basic truths, then reasoning up from there, rather than relying on analogy or convention. This method can lead to greater innovation and a deeper understanding of a subject by starting from the ground up.
Our first step (as we dissect the state-of-talent in 2026) is to start with the building blocks. The first principles.
