Most of us don't actually have a decision problem — we have an avoidance problem. There's one conversation, with one person, that we keep dodging, and it's the reason we're spinning our wheels.

This week, Betsy sits down with Kasey D'Amato — a physician assistant turned founder who built and exited a company that went global, and now advises CEOs and executive teams on the big calls: pivots, partnerships, hiring, firing, exits.

What you'll take away:

  • The head, heart, gut test for making a decision when the data says one thing and your gut says another — and why two of the three have to align before you move
  • The Polaris Point method: how to set a three-year goal and reverse-engineer it back to what you do in the next 90 days
  • The two-minute rule for not making decisions out of anger
  • Why most of the "outside pressure" you're drowning in is actually within your control
  • The single first move to make if you're feeling stuck right now

Plus what alone time taught Kasey about saying no.
