Behavior Gap Radio

In this episode, Carl shares a simple but powerful reframing of a common question: “Can I afford it?” Whether it’s a trip, a sabbatical, or a chance to spend time with someone you love, the real question often isn’t just about money. It’s also about the cost of regret. Carl suggests that when making these decisions, we should consider not only the price of going, but also the price of not going. Sometimes that perspective changes the math in ways we don’t expect.

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.
