🌴 214. How to Make The Right Decision Every Time feat. Alan Weiss (Weekend Rewind)
Alan Weiss is back — this time dialing in from Nantucket with a whiskey in hand, while I’m sipping coffee from Brisbane. This episode is less “webinar,” more “walk and swirl the air” style of conversation — a craft chat about the big and little decisions we make every day.
We explore:
- Why most decisions go wrong (hint: it’s not what you think)
- The 3-part decision-making framework Alan swears by (Objectives, Alternatives, Risks)
- Why binary decisions are dangerous — and how to reframe your thinking
- How to evaluate risk properly (without becoming a paranoid over-thinker)
- Why trusting your gut is smart — but it needs support
- What to do when you know a decision is wrong but go ahead anyway (yep, been there)
Alan also drops this wisdom bomb 💣:
“You’ve helped improve a situation. Or you’ve learned something. Either way, it was the right decision.”
We also riff on:
- The surprising genius of the Keurig
- The Coldplay camera incident and public risk
- AI, coin flips, and other ways people outsource their decisions
- Strategic pausing (aka knowing when not to decide just yet)
📍Live from Nantucket and Brisbane, this one’s a swirl of insight, optimism, personal reflection, and a good laugh.
If you’ve been stuck on a decision — or stuck beating yourself up about a past one — this is for you.
