Episode Synopsis

Founder of Farnam Street and Author of Clear Thinking, Shane Parrish has built a global reputation for helping leaders think clearly when it matters most. From his years in Canada’s intelligence community to writing Clear Thinking, Shane has spent decades studying how decisions really get made, and how to make better ones.

In this episode of VTEX Live, Shane Parrish joins Mariano Gomide to talk about why emotional mastery matters more than ever, how slowing down can speed up success, and what great leaders do differently when making big decisions. He shares why his book Clear Thinking went through three rewrites, how decision journals help teams, and why slowing down is really about getting the direction right.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by decisions or unsure when to slow down, this episode shows why clear thinking, not constant motion, is what drives real progress.
