Summary

In this episode I talk about the pros and cons of risk taking, and how the vast majority of what holds us back in life is reversible.

This means that if things don't end up the way we had hoped, we are able to take a step back, readjust and try again, essentially making the downside negligible.

The upside, on the other hand, is tremendous and potentially even life-altering, making the risk very often worth the reward.
