Every blockbuster success framework has one genuinely useful idea inside it — and about ninety pages of survivorship bias wrapped around it. This episode takes a scalpel to three of the most quoted playbooks in the entrepreneurship canon: the 4-hour workweek model, the $100 startup approach, and the niche-down gospel. Rather than torching them wholesale, we extract the single transferable insight each one actually earned — and name the rest for what it is. Walk away with the 1% worth keeping and permission to ditch the rest.
