Episode notes

The key insight from this snip is that people who are good at decision-making have the ability to think from multiple perspectives. They can tap into different personalities and think like different people at the same time. By doing so, they can analyze problems from different angles and make more informed decisions. Acquiring multiple lenses in life, through reading, traveling, and experiencing different cultures, allows individuals to broaden their perspectives and become less intolerant. Additionally, studying different philosophies enables people to see things from various viewpoints and adjust their thinking accordingly. Having multiple biases and personalities in our heads helps us predict outcomes and understand what different people would like or prefer.

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.
