Today I’m chatting with Alec Torelli, who is a professional high stakes poker player turned digital entrepreneur and speaker, which provides him with a unique perspective on how lessons learned from poker can apply directly to life and business.
After spending 14 years making decisions for hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single hand, he now gives talks in which he dissects the anatomy of decision making to help others make better choices.
Alec is the founder of the training site Conscious Poker, and consults with clients on how to crush poker, as well build brands and businesses. He manages his team digitally, while traveling the world full time with his wife.
This episode is a truly fascinating listen and is jam-packed with lessons that will no doubt improve your life, business, and yes, perhaps even your Texas Hold'em ;-)
