Ted Sarandos: How can you leverage a team that's working together to make better decisions? He says there are two ways to not be in it. One is to think advance on how do I approach the project, figure out if I can solve for the bottleneck first. The other is to get yourself a quitting coach who loves you but doesn't care much about hurt feelings at the moment.

Annie Duke is a former professional poker player, decision making expert, best-selling author, and fortunately, a repeat guest on the show. Our first conversation about Annie’s background and best-seller Thinking in Bets is replayed on the feed. Her latest masterpiece releases tomorrow. It’s called Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away, and I’m going on record predicting it will be a best-seller in short order. Our conversation covers Annie’s compulsion to write another book, our instinct for grit, the case for quitting, the emotional and cognitive biases that stand in our way, and some techniques to improve our ability to quit effectively. Along the way, Annie shares some terrific stories from the book about Everest, Sears, the NBA draft, and the California bullet train.
