Why You’re Not Making Better Decisions — And How to Start

🧠 Featuring the Anonymous Voice Behind Brazil’s Most Philosophical Podcast

🎧 In this powerful and introspective episode of the Better Decisions podcast, I sit down with “Larry Go,” the anonymous co-creator of Brazil’s acclaimed podcast Elefantes na Neblina ("Elephants in the Mist"). Known for masking their identities to keep the spotlight on meaningful dialogue, Larry shares his journey from high-performing executive to deeply reflective thinker seeking peace in a chaotic world.

Together, we explore how internal states shape our external environments, how to train the mind to respond rather than react, and why understanding your “what for” is more important than asking “why.”

Key Topics Discussed:

• How to navigate inner and outer chaos with clarity
• The concept of “upgrading your internal software”
• The dangers of dopamine-driven decision-making
• Emotional regulation and rewiring automatic responses
• How our environments influence our happiness
