    Deciding with a Broken Instrument: Leadership When Judgment Fails

    Host Nakel Nikiema interviews Michael, a business coach and former contractor, about making high-stakes decisions while mentally compromised. They explore burnout, isolation, protecting sleep and recovery, the gap between trade skills and business skills, and the balance between transparency and dangerous secrecy. Michael shares how a mental breakdown forced boundaries and better structure, why some bad decisions can lead to unexpected gains, and practical advice for leaders: prepare for downsides, refuel during hard times, and seek mentors or coaches to avoid costly mistakes.

    When the Data Runs Out: Making Decisions Under Deep Uncertainty

    In this episode of The Intelligence Edge, Nakel Nikiema and four experts unpack the difference between risk and true uncertainty, why asking for "more data" can mask fear, and how leaders get trapped between paralysis and false confidence. Through stories from medicine, investing, and corporate leadership, they show why precision can be a dangerous illusion when the future hasn’t yet been written. Practical guidance emerges: prefer robustness to brittle optimization, make reversible and small survivable moves that generate information, set tripwires before you commit, buy optionality, and judge decisions by process, not just outcomes. The episode reframes courage as committing while staying ready to change course: decision craft for when you truly cannot know. Watch The B.I. Channel TV on Roku Watch The B.I.
