We've all heard the advice: Don't make emotional business decisions. Be logical. Stay disciplined. Don't let your feelings get in the way.

But what if that advice is missing something important?

In this episode of Human Evolution, Jodi challenges a popular belief in business and high-performance culture, drawing on advice from Alex and Leila Hormozi, neuroscience research into emotion and decision-making, and a fascinating conversation between Alex Hormozi and Tony Robbins about success, meaning and fulfilment.

We explore why emotions aren't necessarily the enemy of good decisions, the difference between emotional regulation and suppression, and why becoming more successful shouldn't mean becoming disconnected from yourself.

Because there's a big difference between allowing emotions to dictate your decisions and allowing them to inform them.

And perhaps the goal isn't to become less emotional, but to become more capable of working with what we feel.
