Parallels (Ep. 33)

By The-WIN-Podcast | July 25, 2023

Throughout our lives, we will always be “in between” periods.

During these, we will face many struggles and points where our decision-making will be crucial for our success. We have to make the best of situations by focusing on “What’s Important Now”.

In this episode, Corey Heimensen plays a card game called “Yablon” (also known as “Red Dog” or “In Between”) to demonstrate the parallels between the game and life decision-making, particularly in finance. Corey chats about the concept of being “in-between” life events and the importance of planning and enjoying life.

Corey discusses:

The game Yablon (also known as Red Dog or In Between)
What Yablon teaches us about decision-making, risk management, diversification, risk-return in finance, and life in general
How decision-making is crucial for life
The importance of enjoying life and having fun experiences without stressing about the next hurdle
