Decidedly I Decision Tips for Business Owners

Ep.175 I Deciding Why Some Memories Stick (and Others Don’t)


Listen Later

What makes something worth remembering?

Sanger and Shawn break down why grit and a little discomfort create the most memorable experiences, whether it's backpacking or making even the most boring sports fun. If you’ve ever wondered why some moments stick with you and others fade away, this episode will change how you approach decision-making, adventures, and how you play.

 

KEY TOPICS

  • How over-planning ruins adventure (and why Sanger hates your itinerary.)
  • The first podcast idea that never made it…but somehow had merch.
  • The secret to making anything fun.
  • “Did you win?” Why Shawn asked this question every day of Sanger’s childhood.
