In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl reflects on the dangers of thinking we "know" more than we actually do. He shares personal insights on how quickly we make judgments in various aspects of life, from investments to outdoor adventures, often without any solid grounds. Using examples like private investments and risky outdoor conditions, Carl emphasizes the importance of recognizing when we don't know and simplifying decisions as a result. His key takeaway? In moments of uncertainty, it's better to acknowledge the unknown and make things simpler—sometimes, that means just saying no.
