How do I improve my decision-making as a founder? With Daniel Weinand, Co-Founder of Shopify

Unicorn Bakery - For the World's Most Ambitious Founders & Teams

Entrepreneurs and startups make decisions all the time - but what if you realize your decision was wrong?

Daniel Weinand (formerly Co-Founder of Shopify) joined me at START Summit to answer questions about making important decisions:

- What makes good decisions?

- How do I assess risk when making important decisions?

- How do I react to changing circumstances after I've already made a decision?

- How do I evaluate the quality of my decisions?

This much up front: you won't make a good decision without information and advance work.
