Episode notes

When you say, take a risk, what precisely do we mean by that? Well, i think if a risk is anything that has an uncertain outcome. So for me, a risk could be speaking up in a meeting, right? That's ego risk,. It's not financial risk. But why don't people speak in meetings? It's because there's a risk involved to their psyche or to their sense of what others think of them. And then risk taking obviously follows more classic definitions of you might decide to empty the money from your bank n and put it in your first start up. That's a bigger risk, but it's still a risk.
