We always have a choice – even when it seems like there isn't one. In this episode, Nick and Hari catchup (in a hammock) and reflect on the power of options and making decisions that align with our desires and goals. They also talk about the "just do it" attitude, practising decision-making in these smaller areas… and polyamorous relationships. 

Key topics we discussed:

• Laughter, finding joy and singing without judgement
• Developing the skill of making quicker decisions
• Holding back career progression
• The paradox of choice
• Communication in polyamorous relationships
