Favorite quotes from this talk See all
Risk is another word for adventure.
If we’re going to take on any challenges, we’re going to take on something that we perceive to be a risk. You should be quite clear that there’s a point to doing it.
Always take 5 before you quit
Adventure is that place at the edge of your comfort zone
