Coming up on this week’s episode, something a little different. We know that necessity is the mother of invention. If that’s true – and I think it is – risk is the vehicle and driver that makes invention possible.
This week, I’ll explore inventions – from ancient modern to our modern times in 2019 – that amplify the role of risk management in human evolution. This is a super fun look at the amazing propensity of humans to evolve when faced with the unknown.
The Risktory Podcast is created, written and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin.
