Kinetics

Join Felix Mercer as he explores kinetics—the invisible force controlling everything from diamonds to decisions. Discover why the gap between possible and real determines whether change happens in seconds or centuries. Speed, barriers, and catalysts secretly orchestrate transformation in chemistry, strategy, and life itself.Loved this episode?

Felix Mercer explores how chemical reactions reveal a universal truth: the fastest solution isn't always the best. Through kinetic vs. thermodynamic products, he examines why first-mover advantages fail, how organizations chase quick wins over lasting stability, and what temperature teaches about competition, patience, and the hidden cost of speed.Loved this episode?
