And also remember, we have a huge back catalog of shows that you may have missed.

I'm Mike Kerr Brothers.

Thanks for listening today to Something You Should Know.

It feels like we're making more decisions than ever before.

Every day it's a constant stream of choices.

So let me ask you, how long did you spend deciding on what to wear today, or which email to answer first, or what to order the last time you were at a restaurant?

We agonize over these choices like they're life-altering.

But what if many of the decisions that stress us out don't really matter much?

That's why today's SYSK Trending Topic is a better approach to decision-making.

Today in my conversation with Andy Duke, a recognized decision strategist, we talk about why we overthink small decisions, misjudge big ones, and waste mental energy in all the wrong places.

And we'll explore how to tell the difference between a choice that truly shapes your future and one that just feels important in the moment, but really isn't.

And we'll get to it in just a moment.

You know, I'm a sucker for a good mystery.

Like, in the 1950s, a flight from New York to Minneapolis just disappeared over Lake Michigan.

No wreckage, no answers.

Or the Dietlof Pass incident, a group of experienced hikers found dead under circumstances so strange people still debate what really happened.

There's a podcast called Expedition Unknown from Discovery, hosted by Josh Gates, and this is what he does.

He doesn't just tell these stories.

He goes there.

He's hunted for priceless artifacts stolen by the Nazis in World War II.
