In this Who Got Me Here clip, Kraig Swensrud reflects on the one piece of advice he wishes he could give his younger self: take far more risk.

Despite founding three companies and rising to CMO of a public company, Kraig explains why he still would have pushed himself harder to chase uncomfortable challenges, learn emerging technologies, and put himself on the cutting edge of the industry.

He breaks down why risk-taking accelerates learning, expands your network, and exposes you to the people and opportunities that define a career. And he shares a truth most people avoid: growth requires stepping into roles you don’t feel qualified for—and doing that again and again.

A powerful reminder that in tech, comfort is the enemy of momentum.
