105. Taking risks in business (and life)


Listen Later

Today I’m talking about my failed attempt to summit Mount Rainier and the valuable business lessons I learned along the way. My mountaineering journey was filled with challenging conditions and critical decisions, and I share our risk evaluation and decision-making process while on the mountain and how we can apply this in the business world. 

I’m discussing the importance of understanding your risk tolerance, both on the mountain and in your entrepreneurial ventures.

- My summit attempt and the lessons learned from turning back

- The impact of variable conditions on risk assessment in mountaineering and business

- Understanding and managing your risk tolerance as an entrepreneur

- Evaluating risk based on past experiences, available information, and personal priorities

- Parallels between decision-making in mountaineering and business
