Episode notes

The author set a deadline for himself and that deadline was I need to have this much money in the bank, right? And right, two years worth of savings, financial stability. So it always combines this sort of state, which are like the signals that are occurring in the world with some sort of date. What has been your most memorable act of quitting? Well, you know, I think that the one that had the most influence on my life was actually quitting graduate school.

Annie Duke is author, corporate speaker, and consultant in the decision-making space. For two decades, Annie was one of the top poker players in the world. In 2004, she bested a field of 234 players to win her first World Series of Poker bracelet. The same year, she triumphed in the $2 million winner-take-all, invitation-only World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions. She retired from the game in 2012. Annie is author of multiple wonderful books, including Thinking in Bets, How We Decide, and her latest being Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away.

In this episode, Annie talks about why life is like poker and not chess, how to make sound decisions, the power of quitting, and much more.
