Keith and Laura discuss risk-taking and thoughtful decision-making. The conversation shares their perspectives on how to approach life’s uncertainties with both caution and confidence.
For Keith, risk-taking isn’t about gambling with safety or livelihood, but about calculated steps toward growth. Laura highlights opportunity cost, risk mitigation strategies and pre-anticipating potential downsides to make potential risks feel less threatening.
Laura shares her structured decision-making process, centered around a comprehensive rubric system. She creates a matrix with her ultimate goal as the north star, listing three options, and evaluating the pros and cons of each against her criteria.
Keith’s analytical nature sometimes veers toward excessive caution. So, he’s working to lean into the side of risk that is opportunity and possibility. “What if it all works out?” is a powerful reframe to his tendency to “catastrophize.”
Sometimes the risk is not making the change.
