It's 3 AM and you're replaying a conversation that hasn't happened yet. In the first episode of REWIRE, Carlos Siqueira shows you how to stop overthinking by naming the three traps behind it: Comfort, Assumption and Delay.
Through his own stories, he shows what each trap costs: the job he almost turned down over a guess (where he went on to make his first million), the Miami comfort zone he almost never left (and the wife he almost never met), and the mother who didn't delay, which is the reason he's alive. You'll take the 3-Trap Test, learn why asking AI the same question fifty times is just a faster way to overthink, and leave with the one question that ends overthinking in sixty seconds: "Who already has the answer, and when am I talking to them?"
👇 Which trap is yours: Comfort, Assumption or Delay? Put one word in the comments.
