977.How Confident Are You in Making Decisions for Yourself in a World That Trains You Not To?
About this episode
In this episode, I’m asking a question that sounds simple—but hits a lot deeper when you truly reflect on it.
How confident are you in making decisions for your own life?
This one was sparked by a conversation I had with my daughter about risks as you get older, and how easy it becomes to stop thinking for yourself and start following someone else’s narrative. Add to that a moment from Kevin Hart on Diary of a CEO, where he said, “Nobody has the confidence in making decisions for your life like you do,” and it made me stop & think (& of course write :).
We talk about why, as we get older, we become more cautious.
Why following someone else’s decisions feels safer—but quietly costs us freedom.
Why “research mode” is often just procrastination in disguise.
And why there really are no bad decisions—only decisions you can course-correct.
This isn’t about being reckless.
It’s about taking ownership.
Agency.
Staying in the game long enough to learn, adjust, and grow.
If you’ve felt frustrated… boxed in… or like your life isn’t quite coming together the way you hoped—this episode will help you see why.
Make the decision.
Then make the decision right.
