Episode notes

It's eleven at night. Your notes app has arguments for keeping the offer, killing it, and rebuilding it. You ask a friend, ChatGPT, and a podcast. Now every side has another attorney, and you still haven't decided.

Veronica Dietz explains why repeated advice can expand a debate without adding useful evidence. Learn how to separate facts from conclusions, define what a decision needs to accomplish, and recognize when the visible argument hides a different problem. A pricing debate, for example, may begin with the type of client you're accepting. This episode shows how to make a decision you can review without reopening it every afternoon.
