Annie Duke - Improving Decision Making [Capital Allocators, EP.39]

<p>Annie Duke is a renown public speaker and decision strategist. For two decades, she was one of the top poker players in the world, including winning a World Series of Poker bracelet and the $2 million winner-take-all WSOP Tournament of Champions. Her study of the science of smart decision-making began with a National Science Foundation Fellowship, which she used study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.  Among her charity work and television appearances, Annie was a runner-up to Joan Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice, during which she raised $700,000 for Refugees International. She is a natural teacher and storyteller with an active mind that constantly searches for accurate truth.</p> <p>I highly recommend Annie’s new book, Thinking in Bets, which comes out this week. In her life after poker, she is a featured speaker, writes a newsletter and a blog, and advises companies on improving their decision-making process. Have a look at her website, <a href="annieduke.com">annieduke.com</a>, for more information.</p> <p>Our conversation discusses Annie’s path from an Ivy League education to professional poker, the nature of a bet, how we form beliefs, why we make bad decisions, and what we can do to improve our decision-making process. Towards the end, we also talk about bankroll management, poker faces, and advice she would give the President on how to make better decisions.</p> <p> </p> <p>For more episodes go to <a href= "http://capitalallocatorspodcast.com/podcast">CapitalAllocatorsPodcast.com/Podcast</a></p> <p>Write a review on <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/capital-allocators-with-ted-seides/id1223764016"> iTunes</a></p> <p>Follow Ted on twitter at <a href= "http://www.twitter.com/tseides">@tseides</a></p> <p>Join Ted’s mailing list at <a href= "http://capitalallocatorspodcast.com">CapitalAllocatorsPodcast.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Show Notes</strong></p> <p>2:30 – Annie’s path through the poker world </p> <p>6:05 – Her transition into teaching and the lesson of tilt </p>
