In August 2026, PEAK6 Co-Founder, Jenny Just, was a guest on The Alliance for Decision Education Podcast. In this episode titled “Redefining Risk,” she and host Annie Duke explored how a career built on options trading taught Jenny that you don’t have to win every time to have a winning strategy.
Jenny also reflected on the experiences that shaped her approach to risk, from building one of the world’s most successful trading firms to learning how luck and skill interact in every important decision.
Key takeaways from this podcast include why good decisions can still produce bad outcomes, how practicing decisions builds better judgment, why understanding risk is more important than avoiding it, and how teaching decision-making through games like poker can help people, especially women, become more comfortable making high-stakes decisions in work, money, and life.
