Exactly, right?

It's not just a story you tell about yourself.

It's a story people are telling about you.

I think that's really smart.

I think one of the most important things is to understand your risk profile.

When I ask people, are you a risk taker or not?

They typically say yes or no.

But that's a trick question because risk is not binary.

There are lots and lots of different types of risks, right?

There are physical risks, emotional risks, social risks, intellectual risks, ethical risks.

physical risks.

So you need to figure out what your risk profile is and where you're willing to take risks and where you're not and where you need to stretch.

So for example, I'm a very big social risk taker.

I will get up in front of a big crowd.

I have no problem giving a toast at a wedding or talking to a thousand people.

I'm a very comfortable emotional risk taker telling people how I feel.

But I'm not a physical risk taker and I'm not a financial risk taker and I'm not an ethical risk taker.

And you're like, okay, I feel really good not being an ethical risk taker.

That's like really comfortable for me.

But maybe I should take a few more physical risks.
