This book is technically about how entrepreneurs pitch investors and get them to say yes. But don’t let that fool you — it applies to anyone who’s ever had to get somebody on board with something. (It could be a presentation, a volunteer opportunity, or just a family trip.) Suneel Gupta went throug…

This is the final episode in the decision-making series, and it tackles a problem I hope you get to have more and more often: what do you do when all your options are good? We've spent this whole series trying to make fewer bad decisions, but at some point, if you keep at it, you end up looking at …
There's an acronym that has been life-changing for me, and it's cheesy, but it works: HAALT. It stands for Hungry, Angry, Anxious, Lonely, Tired. If you're in any of those states, don't make decisions of any significance. We can split hairs about why why make certain poor decisions, when sometimes …
This episode digs into the part that might actually be the hardest: seeing clearly. What exactly does that mean? Whether we realize it or not, we are all biased, bent, and limited — sometimes even in areas we think we excel in. I'll walk through a few of the cognitive blind spots that quietly wreck…

Two recommendations here: Absolute All-Star Superman, which asks "what if Superman knows he's about to d…
If you've expanded your options, checked your mindset, and reality tested your assumptions — but you're still not sure — it might be a timing problem. In this episode, I dig into when to go fast and when to go slow. There's a concept I picked up called "thinking gray" (deliberately refusing to form…
We can walk around with a massive set of unquestioned assumptions running our lives, yet not even know it. We might think we're being rational, but we've got confirmation bias working overtime. There's research showing that people on opposite sides of a debate can read the exact same article, and b…
Most of us get stuck in either/or thinking way more than we realize. Should I take the job or not? Buy the house or not? Marry the girl or not? And when you reduce a big decision down to yes or no, it gets heavy fast — because now there's only two outcomes and one of them feels like loss. In this e…
Behind every decision you make, there's a background assumption running: "do I believe there is enough, or do I believe there is not enough?" Enough opportunities, enough good options, enough time, enough resources. That assumption changes everything. In this episode I dig into how abundance and …
Not all decisions should be handled the same way, and not all people should approach decisions the same way either. That might sound obvious, but most of us have one default mode and we apply it to everything. In this episode I dig into the personal wiring side of decision making -- your certainty …
