Our brains often seek more information before making significant decisions, but is more always better? Investor, author, and successful entrepreneur Jay Martin argues that, for non-reactive decisions, less can be more. In this episode, he shares his system for stress-testing news and focusing only on trends that persist over time. By prioritizing duration and consistency over daily drama, you can compound results and achieve success.
Jay and I also dig into wearable technology data, why people burn out from exercise, and why the minimal effect dose is what you need for long-term fitness gains.
Expect straight talk on:
- Why we mistake more data for intelligence
- His criteria for consuming quality news
- Reacting to noise versus big trends
- How wearable technology data alone doesn’t tell the whole story
- Contrasting short and long-view decision making
Jay delivers rare wisdom on filtering noise and acting on valid signals over time. Tune in now for insights on investing, health, and life.
