Anne Wojcicki is the Co-Founder and CEO of 23andMe. Her company helps users learn about their ancestry, genealogy, and inherited traits via at-home genetics test kits and genetic mapping research.
In 2007, 23andMe became the first company to offer autosomal DNA testing for ancestry, becoming a pioneer in the field, and developing technology that has lead the way for every other at-home genetic testing service to come after it. The saliva-based, direct-to-consumer genetic testing business was named “Invention of the Year” by Time magazine in 2008. Anne discusses the impact her family has had on her vision to build 23andMe; challenges she faced building the company; why we should all take ownership of our health; how 23andMe can help researchers find medical cures, and more!

We all know about her fantastic poker career, but few us (myself included) knew about her equally impressive academic background. Annie double-majored in English and psychology, then went on to pursue a doctorate in cognitive linguistics. Annie talks about the latest research in decision-making and how she applied this research in poker and in business. Make sure to take notes for this one because it’s jam-packed with great information.
About the book: “Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned business consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it’s difficult to say ‘I’m not sure’ in a world that values and, even rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don’t always lead to great outcomes and bad decisions don’t always lead to bad outcomes.
By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don’t, you’ll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You’ll become more confident, calm, compassionate, and successful in the long run.”
28:32 What is the difference between World Series of Poker Champion Phil Ivey’s perspective compared to Hellmuth’s?
40:52 How can we stop from discounting others’ great decisions?
50:54 How can thinking in bets be applied to our social and family lives?
Audience Questions:
56:57 Based on your life experience, what kinds of decisions did you make where you thought you needed to change?
1:06:11 What’s your strategy for rock, paper, scissors?
1:06:50 In terms of bets and challenging that, how do you do that when something isn’t quite as quantifiable as the number of representatives in the House in November?
1:11:58 How do you find balance between trusting the status quo and questioning things?
Online Questions:
1:01:46 You’ve talked about the feeling of an imposter or an outsider on some poker tables, what are some ideas in your book can help address the imposter syndrome sensation or counteract overconfidence?
1:09:59 Where were you on Black Friday in 2011 and what are your thoughts on regulating online poker?
1:17:38 What is your approach to the mental game of poker when your emotions can potentially influence your thought process?

I recently hosted Ray Dalio, Founder of Bridgewater Associates, one of the largest hedge funds in the world with $160 Billion under management. Ray joined us to talk about his bestselling book Principles: Life And Work.
–
About the book: “In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.”
The talk covers the following topics:
Different stages of life
Radical truthfulness and Radical Transparency
Five Steps to success: Audacious Goals, Failure, Learning Principles, Improving and Achieving goals
Meritocracy
The Two “Yous” (thoughtfulness and emotional)
“Two Minute Rule” when you disagree
Key to success
Metamorphosis
How meditation connects the conscious mind with the subconscious mind

I recently hosted TED speaker, NPR host, and journalist Celeste Headlee to talk about her newest book We Need ToTalk. Her book will teach you how to have better conversations.

Celeste’s TED Talk sharing 10 ways to have a better conversation was listed as one of the most watched TED talks in 2016 (CNBC) and named the #1 must-watch TED talk for every recruiter and hiring manager (Glassdoor).
If you would like to read a free chapter of We Need To Talk, you can find it here.
Her talk covers the following topics:

We talked about his podcast, his routines, how he keeps himself mentally and physically healthy, and much more. At the end of the talk he asks Googlers if we would be interested in a book about his podcasts. Tim’s book idea became Tools of Titans. I had the pleasure of conducting research on this book with Tim Ferriss and Hristo Vassilev. Enjoy!
