Big Mistakes
We've all been there: looking back at a decision, wondering how we could have been so blind, or why we kept pushing when all signs pointed to stopping. It feels like a personal failing, a lapse in judgment, but Michael Batnick reveals that many of our biggest blunders aren't random acts of misfortune. Instead, they're predictable patterns woven into the very fabric of how our minds work. We cling to failing projects because of 'all the work we've already put in,' or we confidently ignore dissenting opinions, convinced our initial read was the only one. This episode isn't about shaming past errors, but about cultivating a humble awareness of our own mental blind spots. It’s about recognizing the subtle ways our brains trick us into repeating the same missteps, so we can pause, question our assumptions, and choose a different path next time.
