Do You See Life as a Portfolio? Choice Bracketing Can Help! w/John R. Miles EP 510

In today’s episode, John R. Miles explores the concept of choice bracketing, a powerful framework that shows how the seemingly small decisions we make every day can compound over time to significantly impact our future. Drawing on the real-life examples of Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett, we discuss how big-picture thinking helps avoid reactive, short-term choices in favor of intentional actions that align with long-term goals.

The episode breaks down the science of decision-making, focusing on how balancing short-term comfort with long-term success requires shifting from narrow, isolated choices to a broader, portfolio of choices approach. You’ll learn how Bezos applied the regret minimization framework to launch Amazon and how Buffett’s investment philosophy is rooted in viewing life through a long-term lens.
