In this one-year anniversary episode of Pour It On, Chris, Shaun, and Ben dive deep into the often-misunderstood concept of regret. Moving past the modern "toxic positivity" trope of living with "no regrets," the hosts explore how looking backward with a critical eye can actually serve a pragmatic, evolutionary purpose.

By analyzing counterfactual thinking, the trio unpacks the difference between simple life lessons and true regrets. They examine findings from Daniel Pink’s global regret study, highlighting that the emotional penalty of regret isn't meant to make us suffer indefinitely, but rather to make us feel worse in the present so we can make better choices in the future.
