In this #DreamitLive best-selling author & former professional poker player Annie Duke (@AnnieDuke) will explain how mental models, decision-making tactics, & behavioral science can help founders make better decisions as they build & scale their companies. Particularly during these challenging times, founders & startup employees face uncertainty every day.

With her background in high-stakes poker coupled with her research & writing on psychology, economics, game theory, & neuroscience, Annie & Steve will discuss tactical ideas for founders to improve their decision-making skills.
