Podcasts about making better decisions

In this episode, I sit down with Lewis Brindley, founder of Adventure Fuel, a professional bike guide with Adventure South NZ, and a New Zealand mountain biking expert.Originally from the UK, Lewis shares how a rough first ride in Queenstown sparked a lifelong passion for mountain biking that would eventually take him around the world. From seasons in Whistler and Morzine to riding the length of New Zealand and guiding riders through some of the country's most remote terrain, Lewis has built a unique perspective on progression, adventure, and what makes mountain biking such a powerful vehicle for growth.Together, we explore the value of coaching, the mental skills required for riding unfamiliar trails, and how to navigate fear, uncertainty, and decision-making on the bike. Lewis shares practical strategies for building confidence, using points of commitment, and recognizing when to push versus when to listen to your intuition.We also dive deep into New Zealand's mountain biking culture, why guided experiences can unlock a completely different level of riding, and what riders can expect from an unforgettable journey through the Southern Alps. Whether you're planning your own MTB adventure or simply looking to improve your riding mindset, this episode is packed with lessons from years of exploration, coaching, and trail experience.Check out the NZ MTB Expedition here.https://www.adventuresouth.co.nz/https://adventurefuel.org/Timestamps00:00 Welcome & Introduction to Lewis Brindley02:05 Lewis's First Mountain Bike Experience05:00 The Coaching That Changed Everything07:10 From Chef to Professional Bike Guide09:30 Building Adventure Fuel & Teaching Bikepacking12:20 Why Guiding Mountain Bikers Is So Rewarding14:15 What Makes New Zealand Riding Special15:30 Riding Blind & Making Better Decisions on Trail19:15 Managing Fear, Doubt & Uncertainty22:45 Knowing When to Push and When to Back Off25:00 Pre-Ride Mindset & Self-Assessment27:00 The Power of a Point of Commitment29:45 Physical Reset Cues for Technical Riding32:20 New Zealand MTB Culture & Community35:20 Why Guided MTB Expeditions Are Different38:30 The Reality of Riding in New Zealand's Mountains40:40 Preparing Riders for Remote Terrain42:10 Exploring Wanaka on a Rest Day44:15 Riding Glenorchy Bike Park46:20 Cardrona & the Peak-to-Pub Experience49:30 Managing Energy on Multi-Day MTB Trips53:15 Why Queenstown Belongs on Every Rider's Bucket List54:00 Final Thoughts & Closing Conversation___________________________ FREE Mental About MTB Community with direct access to me

What happens when doing the right thing for your department is not the right thing for the organisation? Senior leaders regularly face decisions where functional priorities clash with enterprise-wide objectives. Navigating these tensions effectively is a critical leadership skill.At the top table, leaders wear several hats. One of them represents their functional expertise and accountability, whether in HR, finance, marketing or operations. Another represents their responsibility to the organisation as a whole. Problems arise when those responsibilities pull in different directions. This episode explores how leaders can recognise and manage those conflicts without becoming entrenched in departmental positions.The discussion explores practical ways to approach competing priorities, including lifting the conversation to organisational purpose, identifying creative alternatives beyond either-or thinking, and introducing external stakeholder perspectives such as customers, employees or shareholders. We also explore the role of ego, emotional attachment to functional goals, and the importance of balancing advocacy for your team with responsibility for wider business outcomes.A key focus is understanding trade-offs. Leaders are encouraged to look beyond immediate gains and consider the longer-term consequences of decisions. By taking a broader strategic perspective, leadership teams can make better choices that support sustainable organisational success rather than short term departmental wins.Key Points DiscussedWhy senior leaders must balance functional leadership with enterprise leadership responsibilities.Common examples of conflicting departmental objectives and competing KPIs.The importance of stepping back and reconnecting decisions to organisational purpose.How healthy tension between departments can drive stronger outcomes.Using creative thinking to identify a third solution beyond opposing positions.Bringing external stakeholder perspectives into decision making.Recognising when ego or emotional attachment may be influencing decisions.Exploring short term and long-term trade-offs before making strategic choices.Key TakeawayConflicting priorities are an unavoidable part of senior leadership. The most effective leaders can advocate for their function while also stepping back to make decisions that serve the wider organisation.Strategic leadership requires balancing competing interests, understanding trade-offs and continually asking what will create the best outcome for the business as a whole.Thank you for tuning into this episode of The Strategic Leader podcast.If you enjoyed the show, please give is 5 stars!

Most entrepreneurs and high achievers struggle with knowing when to take action and what to focus on—until they realize clarity isn't about doing more, but about understanding which season you're in. Debbie's story reveals how embracing life's natural rhythms, like playing poker and navigating personal loss, can transform your confidence and decision-making. In this episode, you'll discover how to recognize your current season to make better choices without second-guessing. Debbie shares powerful lessons from her journey—how she mastered the art of "folding" in real estate, learned to trust her instincts, and found confidence through life's unpredictability. You'll also hear about her emotional moments that brought real perspective and how they shaped her strength as a businesswoman and mom. We break down: the importance of clarity in high-stakes moments, the secret power of “knowing what you can control,” and how to apply real-life lessons from poker and personal loss to your business and life. If you're feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about your next move, this episode is an essential reminder that true clarity comes from understanding your season—before you place your bet. Perfect for entrepreneurs, real estate agents, and anyone facing tough decisions—Debbie's story inspires you to tune out the noise, trust your instincts, and play the hand you're dealt with confidence.

She's the founder of Decisive, an adjunct professor at Cornell and the University of Miami, and the author of multiple books on decision-making, including Problem Solved and her latest, The Human Edge.

On this episode we talk about: How Cheryl built a career around decision-making, research, and storytelling Why defining the right problem is the most overlooked step in making money and business decisions The hidden downside of AI: outsourcing your thinking and losing your “human edge” The eight-step AREA Method for making smarter, more personalized decisions How to use AI effectively—without blindly trusting its outputs Top 3 Takeaways The quality of your decisions depends on how well you define the problem—not just the solution you choose. AI is a powerful tool for research, but it requires human judgment to guide, validate, and apply it correctly. Your unique perspective, context, and imperfections are assets—not flaws to be polished away by AI. Notable Quotes "AI is asking for our cognitive load—and that changes everything." "Nobody is going to believe in you unless you believe in you." "Any time saved with AI must be reinvested to verify and refine the result."

Sandra Beck of Powered Up Talk Radio speaks with intuitive teacher Geraldine Teggelove about how to access deeper guidance when making important life decisions. This episode explores what it means to “consult spirit” in a practical sense—not as guesswork, but as a way to tune into intuition, patterns, and inner knowing that often get drowned out by noise, fear, or overthinking. Dr. Teggelove shares how to recognize the difference between reactive decisions and aligned choices, and how to strengthen your ability to trust your own insight. The conversation focuses on real-world application—how to pause, reflect, and make decisions with greater clarity and confidence, whether you're navigating relationships, career moves, or personal growth. It's less about mystical thinking and more about developing awareness you can actually use.Powered Up Talk Radio is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, and Google Play.

Data scientists use optimisation every day when training machine learning models, without even thinking about it. But there's another type of optimisation - that many data scientists are unaware of - that can be used to dramatically boost the business value of your ML outputs. This second layer transforms predictions into optimal decisions, and it's where the real impact often happens.In this episode, Dr. Tim Varelmann joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to explain how combining machine learning with decision optimisation creates solutions that go far beyond prediction, helping stakeholders make better decisions in uncertain environments.You'll discover:How decision optimisation differs from ML parameter tuning [02:19]Why combining predictions with optimisation multiplies value [13:36]The mindset shift needed to think in optimisation terms [22:59]How to spot immediate optimisation opportunities in your work [23:42]Guest BioDr Tim Varelmann is the founder of Bluebird Optimization and holds a PhD in Mathematical Optimisation.

Evan Marks is a Wall Street veteran with 25 years of experience in trading and market psychology, and the founder of M1 Performance Group. He helps high performers master decision-making under pressure, turning mindset and emotional control into consistent, measurable financial results. Known for his work on risk, discipline, and clarity, Evan has used his own performance frameworks to generate $50–100K months in realized income while coaching traders, hedge fund managers, and ambitious professionals. On this episode we talk about: How Evan went from hedge fund veteran to performance coach The difference between impulsivity and true intuition in decision-making Using emotions as data instead of trying to suppress them Why consistent decision frameworks beat random “gut feelings” over time The “callous building phase” and staying in the game long enough to see results Top 3 Takeaways You can't make great decisions by ignoring your emotions; you need to understand and use them as data inside a clear decision-making framework. High performers aren't magically decisive — they practice slowing down mentally, creating space, and then responding quickly with intention. Progress feels invisible at first, but if you stay consistent through the “callous building phase,” your evidence and confidence compound over time. Notable Quotes “We're always in the game of best decision-making — we don't know if it's right, only time tells you that.” “You can't tweak inconsistency; you need a repeatable model before you can improve it.” “There's a bridge between nervousness and excitement, and that bridge is belief based on evidence.” Connect with Evan Marks: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanmarks-m1/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emarks72/ Website: M1PerformanceGroup.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

The conflict between our primitive brain and our prefrontal cortex is as old as our brain itself. Primitive brain wants to avoid pain, pursue immediate pleasure, and conserve energy, while our prefrontal cortex wants to plan for long-term goals and growth to improve the quality of our life. This conflict will often trigger internal negotiation between the two parts of our brain. When we can learn to increase our awareness around this negotiation and apply some tools to our thinking, we can find it easier to shut down the negotiation, keep the commitments we make to ourselves, and grow in our self-respect and self-trust.

Adam talks about learning lessons, ANDOR and productivity

Have you ever heard someone say that "God led them" to do something? Or have you ever prayed for God to guide you in making a decision? These kinds of questions can stir up either skepticism or a deep longing to hear from God personally. When it comes to life’s big decisions, the Bible consistently shows us that God has a long history of guiding His people. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp explores Acts 16:6–10 to show us how God’s direction played out in the early church—and he shares practical ways we can seek God’s guidance in our own lives today.

The Bible consistently teaches that seeking advice is a mark of wisdom. But in a world full of noise and conflicting voices, not all advice is helpful—or even trustworthy. So how can we discern good counsel from bad? How do we go about finding wise, godly advice in the midst of the chaos? In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from 1 Kings 22, guiding us through the story of two kings in desperate need of godly counsel. As he unpacks the pitfalls and dangers they faced, Chris challenges us to embrace the simple—yet often difficult—pursuit of seeking wise, godly counsel. #walkgrowlive #alloflifealltheearth #gospel #jesus #advise #godlycounsel #wisdom Renaissance Church - Richmond, Texas https://ren-church.org

Life is full of decisions that don’t come with clear, black-and-white answers. In the second message of God’s Grid for Making Better Decisions, Pastor Chris Kipp shows us how to seek godly wisdom when the path isn’t obvious. Through the story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11, you’ll discover powerful insights to help you make wise choices in life’s gray areas. Renaissance Church - Richmond, Texas https://ren-church.org #alloflifealltheearth #walkgrowlive #jesus #bible #christian #preaching

Research shows that the average adult makes around 35,000 conscious decisions every day. That’s a staggering number. Some of those decisions are small and routine, while others are large and life-shaping. Sometimes, choices that seem minor carry major consequences—and at other times, we treat significant decisions as if they’re insignificant. So how can we learn to make better decisions? In this episode, Executive Pastor Glenn Goldsberry introduces the first part of our decision-making framework: Is it Biblical? Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Glenn offers practical and insightful guidance to help us navigate decisions with clarity and conviction.

Encourage Humor and Humility: They help maintain a flexible and open-minded approach, making it easier to rethink and adapt.2. Have Pre-Mortems: Discuss as many potential failures as possible before launching. That way you can prevent or know how to handle problems when they occur.3. Eschew Best Practices for Better Practices: “Best Practices” implies there's only one right way, while seeking “Better Practices” encourages people to innovate and try new things.4. Build a Challenge Network: Maintain a group of trusted critics who provide truly honest feedback to improve your decision-making.5. Reward Speaking Truth to Power: Encourage employees to ask questions, suggest improvements and challenge outdated ideas.

Read the full transcript here. What kinds of things really distort our ability to think clearly when making decisions? What is "psychological distance"? What is construal level theory? How can we intentionally increase or decrease psychological distance for ourselves or others who are making decisions? What are "decisionscapes"? When giving toddlers choices, we often artificially limit the number of available options to help smooth out the decision process and avoid decision paralysis. When might the imposition of this kind of artificial limitation be useful for adult decision-makers? What should we do with the productivity gains we've reaped (and will presumably continue to reap) from AI? Is it possible to show someone that you really care about them without making any kind of sacrifice? What has AI done to the value of art? Which individuals and companies currently own the means of digital production? How can we break free from algorithms that drive engagement by triggering negative emotions and promoting conflict? Is survivorship bias the ultimate cognitive bias? What are some lesser-known or lesser-used framing devices for making better decisions?Elspeth Kirkman is the Chief Programmes Officer at Nesta, overseeing missions in early childhood development, obesity reduction, and net-zero emissions.

In this episode, I explore the concept of shadow work and how it relates to decision-making, especially in our most important relationships. I share my personal struggles with my daughter and how past experiences influence our interactions. Using the analogy of a photo library, I discuss how we assign meaning to different aspects of our lives and the importance of bringing our hidden parts into the light. I break down a complex decision-making process, considering the perspectives of ego, heart, and intuition, to demonstrate how our 'shadow' selves impact our choices.
