Ep. 25: Survivorship Bias

What does it take to succeed in a world where failures are often looked past?

In this episode, Abel and Aaron discuss Survivorship Bias. They look at how it has impacted their lives and why it’s important for us to think beyond the “survivors” to have a more accurate probability of success.
