Behavior Gap Radio

In this episode, Carl challenges the familiar advice to “keep your options open.” While optionality can be valuable, he explores the situations where refusing to choose may actually be the greater risk, because commitment itself creates possibilities, information, relationships, mastery, and meaning. The real question isn’t whether options are valuable, but what kind of terrain you’re in: one where value comes from preserving the choice, or one where value only appears after you make it.

What is Behavior Gap Radio?

Greetings, Carl here.

This podcast is super simple, it's me wandering through the world noticing things about how to align my use of capital (time and money) with what is actually important to me.
