TGL047: DECISION-MAKING

W/ BRENT SNOW

18 January 2021

Sean Murray talks with Brent Snow, the designer of the popular course on decision-making called, “Decision Mojo.” Brent teaches decision-making to corporate executives.

In today’s episode, Brent talks about how to improve our decision-making by recognizing our cognitive biases, and taking steps to mitigate their effect. Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, and Ray Dalio all come up in the conversation as we seek to understand what makes them such great decision-makers, and how we can apply their lessons to our own life.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • What is a transformative experience?
  • Why it’s so hard to value different outcomes when facing a decision to undergo a transformative experience?
  • Why we can’t just ask other people “what’s it like?”
  • Why we can’t use rational decision-making tools in these unique circumstances?
  • Why we should focus more on the transformative experience itself rather than the end result?
  • How we can approach these decisions when rational decision-making fails?
  • The role “suffering” plays in a transformative experience
