I've probably taken more risks in my life than most people. Not because I'm naturally brave, but because I learned early that avoiding decisions is still making a decision - you're just choosing the status quo.

This episode breaks down what I've learned about decision-making from starting multiple businesses, changing careers, and taking financial risks that scared me.

Key insights:

• Why most "big decisions" aren't as permanent as they feel
• How to evaluate risk when you don't have all the information
• Why the biggest risk is often not taking any risk at all

The goal isn't to become a risk-taker - it's to become better at making decisions when you can't predict outcomes.

This is a longer episode (24 minutes) where I talk about why I share so openly about business and entrepreneurship. It comes down to access.

Growing up, I didn't have access to the people, experiences, or knowledge that would have helped me understand how business really works. I had to figure everything out through trial and error, making expensive mistakes that could have been avoided.

What this episode covers:

• Why access to knowledge and networks matters more than most people realize
• How the internet has democratized access to information (but not wisdom)
• Why I'm committed to sharing real stories instead of highlight reels

If you didn't grow up with entrepreneurial parents or business connections, this episode will resonate. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is share what you've learned with people who are where you used to be.

I almost quit everything. The YouTube channel, the business, all of it. Then I remembered something that changed my perspective completely: the 10% rule.

This episode is about those moments when you want to give up on everything you've been building. When the progress feels too slow, the results feel too small, and quitting feels like the only reasonable option.

The 10% rule that saved me:

• What it means and how to apply it
• Why most people quit right before things get easier
• How to push through without burning out

Sometimes the difference between success and failure is just deciding to try 10% longer before you quit.
