Episode notes

Stacy and laura took their fears and channelled them into curiosity about to become a manufacturer. Stacy: Rather than running away from the unknown, curiosity encourages you to run toward it. Laurie: We are not what you need when you're sitting at home with your can of infamil or easy access. But we are what you need in places of high inconvenience such as airports - that's where our product is most needed.

For some entrepreneurs, risk is just part of the game. But for the reluctant entrepreneur, whose endeavors come as a response to a need they've identified, risk can feel more like a necessary evil. That’s why you need to learn to harness risk. Stacey Abrams, an entrepreneur and scale leader both in and outside of politics, is a perfect example of how harnessing risk can be key to your success. Outside of politics, she’s started three companies with her business partner, Lara Hodgson. Their new book, Level Up: Rise Above the Hidden Forces Holding Your Business Back, dives into the lessons learned from those experiences. She also founded and scaled two voting rights organizations: the New Georgia Project and Fair Fight Action, as well as the census mobilization effort Fair Count and the Southern Economic Advancement Project.
