    A trailer for Business Games: an educational podcast + newsletter series where we apply game theory to business, to help you make better decisions under uncertainty.

    Plus, nice music and a smile 😊

  • "Your Portable Toilet Business Has Nothing to Learn From Steve Jobs"
    Oct 27 2021

    Business experimentation is NOT only for tech firms. Why, When, and How do we run business experiments? Yes, even for your portable toilet business.

    Originally planned to be 1 week later, now dropped within the same week as the Overall Intro.

    Next week, The Experimental One starts—Yay!—but in this episode, I talk about the choice of Business Experimentation to start this educational podcast + newsletter with. We get into many of the building blocks around game theory and business, our two main foci—and how business experimentation helps you make better decisions under uncertainty.

    We'll see after The Experimental One if my bet on starting like this—rather than jumping into the deep end with Nash Equilibria and such—paid off. As I said on the last episode, we'll build towards The Gamey Theoretical One as we go along.

    It's an experiment in itself!
