The Pitfalls Of Confirmation Bias (And How You Can Turn It To Your Advantage) with James Lavers | BABH-S1Ep47

EPISODE 47: The Pitfalls Of Confirmation Bias (And How You Can Turn It To Your Advantage)

with Special Guest James Lavers

Did you know there are 188 biases?

Well, in today’s episode it’s my delight and privilege to have one of my mentors, James Lavers on the show to talk about Confirmation Bias (and 3 other biases).

You’ll find out what they are and how, when they operate unhealthily in you, they keep you stuck, effect your relationship, your business and more…

Plus in our conversation we’re gonna lay out exactly how you can approach biases, in a way that means they start working for you not against you… so you can get on an upward spiral, out of your current ceiling of limitation and into the stratosphere of your version of success.

It’s a super powered, super packed episode, and a lot of fun with James.
