Applied Game Theory... 🀫
Poker and investing can both be viewed as games of consistently making good decisions under conditions of great uncertainty and risk. The very best players do this while being fully present and having a shit-ton of fun! AGT is about taking this same approach to business and life in general, and it relies on understanding and mastering the scientific principles and techniques of rational decision making.

Why I call it "anti-coaching"
​
You already have a business coach, a therapist, a mindfulness practice, and the appropriate frequency & dosage of psychedelics and shamanic gatherings for your Enneagram type. These are important practices.
Anti-coaching is for the times you are plateaued, stuck or in crisis, and you need someone who's been there before (many times), who can shake up the game board and show you how to leap to the next level.
​
The more of the "inner work" you've already done, the shorter and more impactful your sessions with me will be.
