About this episode

The episode explores the rationale behind engaging in long-term behaviors despite short-term situations and the overlooked benefits that may arise.

In this episode I ponder on the thoughts regarding a question I was asked that boiled down to why perform 'long-term' behaviours in a short term situation. This often comes from the frame of perspective that the 'other' is benefiting more, or simply at all, in any engagement where the individual will in the near future lose access. I lay out my thoughts that, within reason, there are hidden benefits that often go overlooked. Want to listen to more episodes?
