#205: Escaping Decision Making Prisons with Irwin Kula

Today, we have a fascinating capstone conversation in these series on investment decision making biases. In the last few weeks we have worked to provide different lenses through which we can "escape" decision making prisons, so today we will shine a light on something equally powerful at play: our emotions. Not just the simple upside/downside happy/sad spectrum we're all familiar with in business, but the complex web of emotional pairs that do silently guide our decision-making process. Today let's dive deep with Irwin, who breaks down four critical emotional dualities that can either imprison or empower our choices. We'll cover the delicate balance between pride and guilt, to the constant push-pull between excitement and fear (and especially, in business, adrenaline-fueled decision making)- we'll explore how these emotional pairs shape everything from investment decisions to organizational leadership. Let's jump in.
