Listen "Does risk-taking need to be risky?"
Episode Synopsis
Eleanor Roosevelt said that we should "do one thing every day that scares you."

Here's something I think we can work with. Risk-taking is a willingness, to take a justifiable risk, given the preferred outcome. There is wisdom in that. But isn't the point of pursuing wisdom to avoid risk?
Avoid risk? No. Take calculated risks? Yes.
