Make Better Decisions 

Course Schedule

You’re an entrepreneur who wants to be faster and more effective across the dozens of decisions you make every day.

You’re an executive-level decision maker looking to accelerate your team’s success by teaching them how to make high-quality decisions.

You’re an investor who’s tired of letting volatility drive your decisions and ready to systematize your thinking.

Is this course for you?

Making effective decisions on a team.

There's a time-accuracy trade-off with decisions. I'll teach you my best frameworks for figuring out how fast you can go when making decisions.
