| 0:00.0 | In this lesson's episode, explore how emotions shaped decision-making and why ignoring them leads to flawed outcomes. |
| 0:05.6 | Discover how fear and embarrassment quietly drive bias and ego in high-stakes choices. |
| 0:10.8 | Understand why identifying what is being felt matters more than suppressing it, |
| 0:14.3 | and uncover how acknowledging emotional signals early improves judgment, adaptability, and long-term results. |
