Joel Weigle knows what it feels like to have everyone waiting on you for an answer.
While helping lead the build of a chemical plant in his 20s, he was working nonstop, making thousands of decisions, and slowly becoming the bottleneck for everything around him.
That’s when he started doing something simple. He gave himself 30 seconds to make a decision and move on.
In this episode, Joel talks about where that rule came from, what happened when the chemical plant he helped build exploded, and how those experiences completely changed the way he thinks about leadership, risk, business, and trusting yourself.
We also get into real estate, thinking bigger, learning from the decisions that don’t work out, and why waiting too long to make a decision can sometimes be heavier than making the wrong one.
As Joel says, the heaviest things in life aren’t iron and ore. They’re unmade decisions.
