We often judge people, risks, and opportunities by how well they fit a stereotype—not by facts or probability. In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we break down the Representativeness Heuristic, a powerful mental shortcut that causes us to mistake familiarity for truth. From hiring and investing to media narratives and everyday judgment, discover how this hidden bias shapes decisions—and how to spot it in your own thinking.
