When are things “enough,” and when do you want more? What do you want to think about in life and in work? What are the skill sets that poker players have that serve them best in life after poker?

Today, we’re answering these questions and more. Nick dives into Wayne’s mind to better understand how Wayne amassed the confidence to transition out of poker, and what skills he found most valuable when making the shift. The ensuing discussion focuses on the most common career blind spots among poker players, particularly the lack of vision they have over their implieds as developing entrepreneurs. This is a must watch episode for any poker player looking for guidance on how to start diversifying from poker and connect with the vision of the Beyond Poker network.
