Drawing from a funny and memorable story about his high school days as a mascot and an unexpected Valentine's Day gamble, he unpacks what it really means to take a chance when the outcome is uncertain.

You will discover:

• Why risk is a natural and necessary part of leadership
• How overplaying it safe can limit growth and opportunity
• The importance of preparation before taking big swings
• Why the work you do in ordinary moments makes risk less risky

Tune in for a quick reminder that courage, timing, and persistence often lead to the biggest leadership wins.
