Today's guest is Annie Duke, who is a former world-class professional poker player and one of the world's top experts on decision-making. She's a bestseller author and coach of many tech founders and teams.
With Annie we talked about her journey from studying decision science to becoming a top poker player and back to decision-making. We explored how to make good decisions under uncertainty, alone and in a team. And we particularly focused on quitting decisions, what makes for a good versus a bad quit and why we are so bad at recognizing those.
