The source of all bad decisions is blind spots. People who are seemingly very good at decision tend to have multiple personalities in thinking about situations. They can become different people and explain the problem exactly through the ones person, or instinctively reject things. The smarter you are, the more likely you're not going to be able to do that. Checklats don't matter. You know, when talk to daniel conman, he said the exact same thing. He's like, i've studied this for 60 some years, and i'm no better at avoiding them.

My guest is Indian entrepreneur and venture capitalist Kunal Shah who calls on his decades of entrepreneurial experience to discuss what he’s learned about what motivates people, and how observing trends hiding in plain sight has made him a runaway success in business.

We also discuss the many cultural differences between India and the West, what he learned growing up in the family business and how he applies it today, observing reality, why he dropped out of an MBA program, strategies for decision-making, and so much more.
