E13 - Business is poker, not chess

from Thinking With Books · host Oktay Yildiz

In this episode, we explore Annie Duke's Thinking in Bets to uncover why a great decision is defined by the quality of its process rather than its final outcome. We discuss how to navigate uncertainty by separating skill from luck, overcoming self-serving bias, and treating your strategic choices like poker hands instead of a chess match. Tune in to learn how to build a truth-seeking pod, run effective pre-mortems, and adopt the long-game mindset necessary to consistently make better bets in business and life.
