Asymmetric Opportunity | Determining The Right Risk Vs Reward Ratio

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

How do you determine the tradeoff's when judging an opportunity?

In Episode #376 of 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: the twitter threads popping up for Juan, why it's hard to judge risk, why I place physical safety above emotional well being and material concerns, a sad puppy week, why you don't want to handstand on cliff faces, subjective value changing the opportunities for everyone and why v4v/crypto/introspection/cold approaching might be good opportunities.

A huge thanks to Dave Jones for supporting this week. So so consistent.
