Decisions Unveiled: Exploring 'Would You Rather' Scenarios in Business
In this podcast episode, I explored decision-making and accountability in entrepreneurship through "Would You Rather," emphasizing the role of reflection in understanding values and fostering self-awareness. The episode covers a variety of hypothetical scenarios, such as choosing control over delegation in business, prioritizing time or money, and honesty over likability.
I highlighted the importance of timing in being honest, discussed speaking up versus staying silent, and concluded by emphasizing the ongoing value of reflection in guiding decision-making and personal growth. I also reflect on the challenges of balancing honesty and being liked, drawing from personal experiences, character traits, and the evolving perspective that comes with age, ultimately encouraging listeners to engage in these reflective exercises for aligning actions with personal values and making intentional decisions.

The main lesson was that when we accept compliments and believe in ourselves, we show up with more confidence, and that changes how others see us too.

In this episode, I talk about the common feeling of “everyone’s trying to sell me something” and how to avoid wasting time or money on the wrong solutions.

I explained their core values like “Givers Gain” and accountability, and how being around serious, supportive people gave me motivation and a sense of community.
