This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Hi, Kyle. Could you draw up a quick document with the basic business plan? Just one page as a Google doc and send me the link. Thanks.
Hey, just finished drawing up that quick one page business plan for you. Here's the link.
But there was no link. There was no business plan. I hadn't programmed Kyle to be able to do that yet. I'm Evan Ratliff here with a story of entrepreneurship in the AI age. Listen as I attempt to build a real startup run by fake people. Check out the second season of my podcast, Shell Game, on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

I didn't really have an interest in being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building. From the underground clubs that shaped global music to the pastors and creatives who built the cultural empire, the Atlanta Ears podcast uncovers the stories behind one of the most influential cities in the world. The thing I love about Atlanta is that it's a city of hustlers, man.

Hello everybody, I'm Gemma Speck and welcome back to The Psychology of Your 20s, the podcast where we talk through the biggest changes, moments and transitions of our 20s and what they mean for our psychology. Hello everybody, welcome back to the show, welcome back to the podcast. It is so great to have you here back for another episode as we break down the psychology of our 20s. Today's episode is cutting right to the heart of so much of our fear and our doubt in our 20s. What if I regret the decisions I'm making right now? Or what if I regret the decisions I'm not making? But at the heart of, I think, every DM I get, every discussion I have with you guys, the listeners, but with my friends on dating, on jobs, on money, moving, health, whatever it is, at the center of all that is a deep fear of regret.
There is like this vision we sometimes have in our mind of us looking back in 30 years, looking back at this moment and thinking, here it is. Like, this is the moment. This is the decision I can pinpoint for me for when it all went wrong. no doubt about it this fear of like is this the moment that I realized like I messed up in the future that fear is so amplified in our 20s almost counterintuitively because we actually often have so many opportunities and so many doors open and so little room for regret at this point and so much future ahead of ourselves but it's it's Ironic, but it creates this constant pressure to not mess it all up despite just being at the start. So in this episode, I want to do a psychological deep dive into what actually drives regret, what people regret the most, how to manage it when it does show up, and why I actually think regret is...
one of the most motivating emotions we can actually access as we plan for our futures. So without further ado, let's get into the psychology of regret. When we talk about regret, what are we actually talking about? That's really important for us to understand. Regret is sadness, it's disappointment, embarrassment, it's a sad mix of all those things.
