We just call them things we didn't do.
And here's what I've come to believe.
The people who are actually good at taking risks didn't get there by making one giant leap.
Or even by taking big risks over and over again.
They built a practice, small, uncomfortable swings over and over, not until it stopped feeling scary, but until the fear stopped getting in the way.
I know that's been true for me.
So today I want to explore how do you actually get better at taking risks?
And is it something that anyone can do?
I'm Molly Graham, and this is Work Life, a show where we untangle the messy human side of work.
Today, I'm talking to someone who has thought more carefully about the daily practice of risk than almost anyone I know.
Julie Zhu was one of the earliest design and product leaders at Facebook, where she helped build and manage teams through some of the most explosive growth in tech history.
She later wrote The Making of a Manager, which has become a field guide for first-time leaders, and is now the co-founder of Sundial, a company using AI to help organizations make better decisions.
Julie is a craftsman and not just in design.
When she wants to understand something, she dives in deep and builds a whole practice around it.
For example, she did that with writing.
One blog post a week for a year and then landed a book deal.
One of the things she has applied that craft to is risk because she decided it was something she wanted to get better at.
So I want to talk to her about what she did, what she learned, and what she really thinks it takes to be brave.
Julie, welcome to Work Life.
I'm so happy you're here.
