Disaster Avoidance with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky
Learn why we make terrible decisions when we rely solely on our gut feelings, past experiences, and cognitive biases.

Is there a strategy that can help us make profitable decisions consistently and avoid disaster?

Show Notes
Question 1: We’ve seen some very large, once very successful businesses close their doors in the past few years. Celadon is one in the heavy-duty trucking industry. How does that happen?
Question 2: Biases of any kind are usually not obvious to the person who has them. How do we identify them?
