It’s called the sunk cost fallacy, the belief that we should keep investing in something simply because of how much we’ve already put into it. If you’ve ever struggled to walk away from something that no longer serves you, this honest, tough-love conversation will help you rethink what it really means to let go and why your future might depend on it.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
