Logan Ury (@loganury), Director of Relationship Science at Hinge and author of How To Not Die Alone, joins Erik on this episode to discuss:

- Why a great relationship is really just a culmination of a series of small decisions, and how to be “intentional every step of the way.”

- How the three dating tendencies apply to cofounders as well as to romantic partners.

- What leads to external CEO candidates being paid more but performing worse than internal ones.

- Why life is happier for satisficers than for maximizers.

- When to end it versus when to mend it.

- Why people love optionality but are much happier after having made permanent decisions.
