Our brains often seek more information before making significant decisions, but is more always better? Investor, author, and successful entrepreneur Jay Martin argues that, for non-reactive decisions, less can be more. In this episode, he shares his system for stress-testing news and focusing only on trends that persist over time. By prioritizing duration and consistency over daily drama, you can compound results and achieve success.
Jay and I also dig into wearable technology data, why people burn out from exercise, and why the minimal effect dose is what you need for long-term fitness gains.
Expect straight talk on:

Why we mistake more data for intelligence
His criteria for consuming quality news
Reacting to noise versus big trends
How wearable technology data alone doesn’t tell the whole story
Contrasting short and long-view decision making

Jay delivers rare wisdom on filtering noise and acting on valid signals over time. Tune in now for insights on investing, health, and life.
