In this episode, we welcomed Yehong Zhu, founder and CEO of Zett AI. Yehong is a former Forbes reporter, a Harvard philosophy graduate, and a former product manager at X (formerly Twitter). We explored how her background across media, tech, and startups shapes the way she thinks about negotiation, decision making, and building companies that last.
We covered:
The “worst alternative” to a deal and the sushi conveyor belt problem of waiting too long for a better option
Poker as a decision framework: protecting your energy stack, knowing when to fold, and developing your own risk styleAnnie Duke’s concept of “resulting” and how to separate decision quality from outcomes
Reversible vs irreversible decisions, infinite games, and building companies that last beyond short term incentives
