Episode notes

The first obstacle that tends to stand in the way of risk taking is simple, it's fear. But daredevils have a lot more to consider than to jump or not to jump. Risk isn't a binary, it works on a gradient. These questions are central to an entrepreneur's journey. They won't remove the risk you're facing, but they help you understand your options and improve your odds of success.

Taking risks can be the catalyst for immense scale or dire straits. Avoiding taking any risks at all leads to stagnancy and empowered competitors. The key is to know which risks are worth taking, and when and how to take them. This episode highlights the best conversations we’ve had recently about taking advantage of risk and how fortune favors the brave.
