When your identity is wrapped up in the thing that you're doing, it's really hard to walk away from it. So for me as a poker player, people knew me as like anti-duke the poker player. I would say that I got to that decision too late because I probably should have done it earlier.
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.
