<![CDATA[In Decision]]>Can't decide whether to hit play? That's what In Decision is for.

Every day we're asked to make decisions. By some estimates, roughly 35,000 of them. Some forgettable, others life-changing. More and more, we're also being told those decisions can be outsourced to machines. What to write. What to buy. Even where to work.

That made me wonder: what decisions are still made by humans — and should always remain human?

I'm Rishabh Barve, a Stanford student endlessly curious about how people think when there isn't an obvious answer, so I started In Decision.

Each episode is a conversation with leaders in their fields — educators to founders, athletes to philanthropists — to understand how they decide.

Still indecisive on whether to press play? In Decision can help with that.

Superintendent Gillian Chapman leads Blue Valley Schools, one of Kansas' highest-performing districts — but she started as a third grader who was shamed for failing a timed multiplication test.


That moment, and her mother's response, shaped a career built on one conviction: every child deserves someone who believes in them, and that belief is something no machine can offer.

Rishabh and Dr. Chapman trace her path to the superintendent's office and dig into the decisions that come with leading at that scale.
