Podcast Overview

It's hard to be human. Our biology constrains our brains' computational power. We can only "chew" on so many decisions each day. That makes it tough to lead in complex environments. But if we're equipped with reliable heuristics (or "rules of thumb"), we can make good decisions about a whole bunch of stuff without having to think too hard about it. That frees up our finite brain power for the challenges and opportunities that require it most! Hosted by Jamie Flinchbaugh (author and co-founder JFlinch) and Jeff Grimshaw (author and principal at MGStrategy).

Gordon Gekko was half right

Adam Smith, the father of free enterprise, wrote in The Wealth of Nations: "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." We may tell ourselves stories about our supposed altruism. But we all make decisions that we hope will "maximize future utility." The question is: What's our time horizon for calculating ROI? In this episode, Jeff and Jamie suggest heuristics that address this question.

Theory versus practice

What's more important to you: That something works in THEORY or that it works in PRACTICE? In this episode, Jamie and Jeff reveal their answers with two new "heuristics" or rules of thumb for making choices in uncertainty.
