The Escapee Superpower No One Talks About: Smarter Decisions, Faster Success

In corporate, most of us weren’t really making decisions—we were following them. But out here? As an escapee, every choice is yours. And decision-making becomes one of the biggest levers for building the life and business you actually want. In this episode, I’m joined by organizational psychologist Dr. Magda du Preez to talk about the hidden skill that separates stuck escapees from the ones who are truly living. We dig into why decisions get harder after corporate, how emotions throw us off track, and the four key biases that sabotage even the smartest solo operators. This one’s about reclaiming your power to choose—and learning how to do it better, faster, and with way more confidence. Because out here, your next decision might just be the one that changes everything. We cover: • Why decision-making feels harder after corporate—and how to fix that • The four key biases that derail smart people (and how to navigate them) • How emotions like frustration, fear, and excitement secretly influence your choices • The difference between accurate confidence and just being loud • Why thinking clearly is your new competitive advantage in the age of AI • A decision-making tool built just for escapees and solo business owners • How to identify which decisions really matter—and which ones don’t 🔗 Learn more about Magda’s work: https://getsense.net  📍 Connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/magda-du-preez-phd-932191
