Episode notes

How does that practically look for somebody who's in a relationship or at a job? Most people won't be climbing Everest, but they have a job where they have a relationship. Sarah Olson-Martina might have quit earlier because everything was butting up against what she thought that she was really looking for in a job.

Annie Duke is a former poker player and author. She holds a World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet from 2004 and at one point won more money in WSOP history than any other female. She is still in the top four as of September 2021, despite being retired from poker, last cashing at a tournament 2010.

She is the author of three phenomenal books Thinking In Bets, How To Decide, and Quit.

In this conversation, we spoke about how Annie got into poker, how to decide whether to quit a job or relationship, and what she learned from Erik Seidel.
