How to Say No Without Losing the Relationship | What Deserves a Yes? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can saying yes to something good still take you in the wrong direction? Bad opportunities are easy to decline. The hard ones arrive as genuinely good ideas, from people you respect, at the wrong moment. Each one makes sense on its own. The difficulty is what they add up to. This episode began with a gift. A Secret Santa during my consulting years, a large red button with NO printed across the top, and a private explanation from the colleague who chose it that I have been thinking about ever sinc
Was It a Bad Decision, or a Bad Outcome? | Hindsight Bias and the Stories We Tell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does the right answer always seem obvious once someone reveals it? Before the reveal in a good mystery, the clues feel scattered. Then Sherlock Holmes names the answer, and suddenly every detail looks like it was always pointing the same way. The clues have not changed. Only your knowledge of the ending has.

Rendy Lu, Wimbledon and the Distance Traveled | The Achievement Nobody Applauds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you measure success? Most of us have an answer ready. A promotion. A championship. A degree. A life more comfortable than the one we started with. Two athletes stand on the same Olympic podium wearing the same silver medal. One is smiling through tears. The other can barely look up. The result is identical. The achievement is not. This episode is about the second measurement, the one that rarely appears on a résumé or a trophy. How far did someone have to travel to arrive where they are?
Stan Wawrinka’s Wimbledon Farewell | When Love Isn't the Question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do we tell the difference between wanting to continue... and knowing it's time to stop? Those two things can feel like the same question. Often, they are not. After his final Wimbledon, Stan Wawrinka said something that stopped me. Two sentences that held more honesty than most people manage in a lifetime of public interviews. This episode sits with that brutal honesty. With what it means to still love something and know this chapter is ending at the same time. With the particular courage it
