For those in the poker world, Fedor Holz needs no introduction. After quitting poker a couple of years ago, he started dabbling in various things, particularly building a community focusing on an environment of creativity. In poker, he points out, his tendency to lose interest in things he doesn't feel passionate about at the moment was a good thing.

Fedor enjoys and is energized by puzzling out and solving problems, and not so much by the process of actually executing the path that he figures out. A few years ago, he didn't see the potential for this kind of growth in poker anymore. This made him want to quit in favour of developing other skills rather than just monetizing something that he was already good at.

Speaking of skills, one of the most valuable skills that Fedor developed from playing poker is problem-solving, he'll explain today. He chats in our conversation about how he applies to this skill to his current work in consulting, explaining that his ability to connect things allows him to work in various fields.

Other topics we'll cover include uncertainty (and how tough it is to get used to it), his advice to someone in the position that he was in a couple of years ago before he retired from poker, and what most people believe about health that might actually be wrong. As Fedor explains today, the human body is the most complex puzzle he has come across. Don't miss this fascinating conversation!

In This Episode:

[00:17] - Fedor chats about what he's been up to outside of poker.

[07:42] - Was it hard for Fedor to give up the opportunity cost of making a lot of money from poker when he retired?

[09:26] - Fedor mentions that he tends to randomly come across opportunities, and tends to say yes too often.

[10:58] - The biggest issue for Fedor is anticipating future opportunities, he explains.

[12:52] - Fedor talks about the top few skills that he learned from poker that can be applied broadly outside of poker.

[17:42] - We hear Fedor's thoughts on the process of getting used to uncertainty in poker.

[19:51] - What advice or recommendations would Fedor have for someone who is still uncomfortable with uncertainty?

[21:29] - Fedor talks about punishments for bad results, and why it needs to take more factors into account.
