We humans are designed for risk. When we're risking with intention, we're living our lives for something bigger than ourselves. In Matthew, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven as like treasure hidden in a field. It comes only when we're willing to risk everything for it. In the Beatitudes, when Jesus says, blessed are, he's actually saying happy are. He actually addresses negative emotions like mourning, sorrow, brokenness. The happiest people in the world embrace their sadness. It is about celebrating life all the time. The happiest people in the world are the ones who have a reason to suffer. The apostles left the Sanhedrin rejoicing, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name. We are designed for adventure. If you begin to make choices where you're adverse, then you're not happy.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Bernardo Huberman, Ph.D., a research physicist, expert on quantum networks, and vice president of CableLabs' Next-Gen Systems. We discuss his journey into science, beginning in South America, how a curiosity about physics led him to the United States, and how his hunger for studying novel problems guided him into fields like physics, computer science, biology, economics, and, most recently, quantum computing. He explains relativity theory, chaos theory, fractals, and quantum internet in terms anyone can understand. We explore how curiosity has continually guided his decisions about what to study and how to live, and how researching hard, even abstract, problems can serve as a model for staying grounded and enjoying everyday life. We also discuss meditation, spirituality, and why continually asking questions about how the world is organized can bring about an immense and lasting sense of meaning and joy.

Taking a step of faith is often synonymous with taking a risk. Baptism is a profound act of faith, symbolizing a believer's commitment to follow Christ and become His disciple. It is not a prerequisite for salvation but a public declaration of the transformation that has already occurred within. Baptism requires humility, a willingness to die to the old self, and a commitment to live in the newness of life that Christ offers. It is a dramatization of the burial of the past and the resurrection into righteousness, where God sees not our imperfections but the righteousness of Christ in us. The act of baptism is a radical step of faith, a decision that signifies a believer's adherence to the teachings of Jesus. It is a commitment to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, regardless of societal or political pressures. In a world where the lines between good and evil are increasingly blurred, baptism is a declaration of allegiance to Christ and His kingdom. It is a reminder that we are not remodeled versions of our old selves but new creations in Christ, something that has never existed before. Faith is inherently risky, requiring us to step out of our comfort zones and trust God with the unknown. Biblical figures like Abraham, David, and Peter exemplified this radical faith, taking significant risks that led to profound transformations. Their stories remind us that where there is no risk, there is no faith, and without faith, there is no power, joy, or intimacy with God. Risk takers are those who hear God's voice and obey, trusting that He knows best. In our journey of faith, God often brings us to the edge of a decision, challenging us to take a radical step of faith. This decision is not just about following Christ but fulfilling the purpose He has for our lives. It involves a willingness to risk everything for the sake of gaining everything in Christ. As believers, we are called to be risk takers, stepping out in faith and trusting God to do the impossible. This radical faith is what transforms us from good to great, enabling us to experience the fullness of God's promises. **Key Takeaways:** - Baptism is a public declaration of faith, symbolizing the burial of the old self and the resurrection into a new life in Christ.

Lynn Schmitt's journey began in Chicago, where she cultivated her love for art. After attending Bradley University as a Fine Arts major, she went on to graduate from the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and Roosevelt University with a BFA in Interior Design. For 30 years, Lynn thrived as a commercial interior designer, contributing to high-profile projects like O'Hare Airport's Delta Concourse (now Terminal 3), international endeavors in Kuwait and Egypt, and numerous commercial spaces across Chicago. In 2005, while working at A Touch of Amish, a quilt shop in Barrington, IL, Lynn shifted gears. Her first quilt pattern was published in Fons & Porter's magazine in 2006, and in 2010, she launched her own studio, A Different Box of Crayons. Lynn quickly became known for her fresh approach to quilting, blending unexpected fabrics and techniques to push the boundaries of traditional design. Her work has appeared in multiple quilt publications, and she's contributed to several quilt books, including projects for Needl'love. When Lynn isn't designing, she enjoys an active lifestyle, embracing everything from knitting and kayaking to cross-country skiing with her husband, Gerry Gallagher. She's also eager to dive back into her early love of painting through upcoming mixed media art classes. Today, she calls Glen Ellyn, IL home, where her creative spirit continues to inspire those around her. Episode Highlights:(2:27) Early Beginnings: Growing up in Chicago, Lynn discovered her love of sewing early on.

What kind of risk taker are you ? Imagine being presented with a choice: receive $100 with 100% certainty or take a chance on $200 with 50% probability. Do you dare to take a leap of faith, or do you play it safe? The answer may reveal more than you think.Risk aversion is ingrained in our human heritage. Our ancestors who took excessive risks did not live long enough to pass on their genes to the next generation. Yet risk taking is the driving force behind societal progress. Whether you are a portfolio manager, a trader or an entrepreneur, managing risk is an integral part of the human experience. In this episode of 2050 Investors, host Kokou Agbo-Bloua takes a closer look at risk and its role in the financial markets.

In this episode, Monika discusses Sebi's recent announcement of a new mutual fund category for high-net-worth investors. This new category will allow for higher-risk, potentially higher-return products, with a minimum investment of Rs 10 lakh. It aims to expand investment options without increasing risk in the broader market. Monika highlights the current limitations in mutual fund categories and explains how this change will give more flexibility in investment strategies. She will update listeners as more details emerge, especially regarding costs and fees. Next, Monika covers the new rules for transferring financial products like mutual funds, stocks, and listed bonds. Sebi now allows up to 10 nominees and has simplified the inheritance process for easier management by heirs and joint owners, particularly for elderly or incapacitated investors. In listener queries, Dr. Prateek Srivastava faces a dilemma about taking over his mother's home loan. Monika suggests exploring options like splitting the loan burden between siblings or selling the house to reduce the financial strain while ensuring a valid will is in place. She also advises Shilpa K to keep her emergency fund safe in a large commercial bank rather than chasing higher returns in small finance banks. Lastly, Namit Saxena, who holds 40 mutual fund folios, is encouraged to streamline his portfolio to 6-8 funds, using tax exemptions to rebalance over time.

“I wasn't going to miss the podcast just because I was slightly paralysed” - It's one of the better quotes we've had on the show! But it neatly sums up the unassuming yet unflappable nature of Dr Harry, who unless you were on a 12 month silent retreat in 2018, you'd know was the cave diving anaesthetist who helped in the against all odds rescue of the Wild Boars soccer team trapped in a flooded Thai cave. Dr Harry is in a unique position to talk about the art of risk taking, and it's something he's taken a keen interest in since that phenomenal rescue, especially how it relates to kids.  In this episode Dr Harry very kindly shares with Hame his thoughts on teaching kids about risk mitigating rather than risk taking, building resilience and overcoming fear, on the generational changes in parenting that he's noticed and reflecting on what he might have done differently as a dad… it's a super wide ranging chat - one that we were so, so lucky to have… not least because a few days out from us recording with Dr Harry, he'd been diving down a very very deep cave and had a little run in with the diver's constant nemesis, the bends. Thankfully it all worked out OK! But I think you'll agree, it was some Gold Standard Guest Commitment to turn up to our humble podcast, for sure! --- Dr Richard Harris SC OAM & 2019 joint Australian of the Year (nice title, right?!) has got lots of great stuff going on... His 3 series podcast REAL RISK is awesome. It's got some amazing chats with people who manage some pretty massive risks  (the saturation diving episode is so good) He's written a couple of great KIDS BOOKS on different ways to be brave and kind, called Alfie the Brave & Alfie the Kind. The book he and Craig Challen wrote AGAINST ALL ODDS about the cave rescue is also amazing AND very excitingly he's working on a feature documentary called Deeper, directed by Jennifer Peedom, produced by Stranger than Fiction and distributed by Madman. The film follows the story of Harry and his mates attempting a dangerous and unprecedented dive in a remote (and very deep!) NZ cave - it's out next year and we can't wait! — Now, if you DON'T want to take a risk with your next hire car (and who would), make sure you use our friends at HERTZ.

Big stakes poker player and elections analyst Nate Silver is no stranger to a calculated risk. In his new book, On The Edge, he makes the case that people willing to take massive calculated risks are winning in the modern economy. Tim Harford talks to Nate about the mindset that's driving hedge fund managers, crypto true-believers and silicon valley investors.Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Beth Ashmead Latham Series producer: Tom Colls Production co-ordinator: Katie Morrison Sound mix: Nigel Appleton Editor: Richard Vadon

Nate Silver is an American statistician, poker player, and New York Times bestselling author of The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail -- but Some Don't . Nate's latest book is On The Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, where he dives into the worlds of Doyle Brunson, Peter Thiel, Sam Bankman-Fried, Sam Altman, and more. These professional high risk-takers fall into the group that Nate describes as “The River”, a community of people that have increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society.Nate came to the Daily Stoic studio to talk with Ryan about incentives in large media corporations with independent media, ethical challenges of audience capture, financial motives in journalism, conflicts between truth-seeking and profitability, the dynamics of tech versus traditional media, effective altruism, and much more. Nate is the founder of FiveThirtyEight and the New York Times bestselling author of The Signal and The Noise.

Risk-averse is a term often used by financial managers to describe people who do not want to take risks with their investments. They want low-risk investments, and that can be a prudent way to handle your money. But should we always be risk-averse? Ron Hutchcraft told a story that illustrates what I'm talking about. He said he had been invited to go hiking with some friends in a gorgeous setting, to see a breathtaking waterfall. Ron was determined to see it. So, they hiked up the mountain and came to a large stream they had to cross to get to the waterfall. Ron took a look at the stream and started searching for a bridge, but there was none. He said to his companions, "How do we get across here?" "Oh," they said, "you have to walk across the pipe there.” Ron looked at the pipe that bridged the stream. It was small; it was wet; it looked dangerous. And his first reaction was, "Thanks but no thanks. I'll stay here.” But his friends urged him, "Come on. You can't stay here. The view is on the other side. Wait ‘til you see the view and the waterfall. Come on; walk across the pipe." Ron had a decision to make. Either stay where he was and miss the view or walk across the pipe. He decided to take the risky way, and he walked across. He said, "I wouldn't have missed that view for anything. It was the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. But I had to walk the pipe to get there." Yes, it was a bit risky, but it was worth the risk. You know, as we live our lives for Jesus, there will be times when we need to take a risk, move out of our comfort zones, attempt something that looks difficult, and yes, even run the possibility of failing. For example, maybe God has been prompting you to share your faith with a coworker, but you've been reluctant to do so because it's risky. You think: That coworker may react negatively, or I may botch it and say all the wrong things. Or maybe it's against the law to share my faith on the job! And so that fear keeps you from taking the risk. I wonder how many of us are missing out on so much of what God wants us to do and the blessings that come when we obey, simply because we're not willing to take a risk. Obviously, we shouldn't take unnecessary risks, and we should always proceed with prayer and caution. But my friends, if you're afraid of any risk, you may never do all the good things God has put you here to do. You'll miss so much of God's blessing in your life. The Bible is full of stories of risk-takers. Esther took a great risk to rescue her people from annihilation. This young, inexperienced woman literally took her life in her hands and approached the king. Before doing that, she asked for all the Jews to pray and fast for her. That's a good principle. You shouldn't just go headlong into some risk without knowing God is leading you and knowing you are fortified with prayer. But once she knew she had to take this risk, she said, “I will go to the king even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.” Esther was a meek, humble young woman. She was not equipped for such an assignment. She could have given many legitimate excuses why she could not take this risk of approaching the king to save her people. But she knew it was a unique opportunity, and she knew it was the right thing to do. She did face the possibility of failure; she knew the extent of the risk she took, but she knew she had to do it. So, she said, “If I perish, I perish.” You see, many of us are very willing to serve Jesus as long as it's comfortable and not terribly demanding. We have our life plan in place, and we've put Jesus in the schedule. Yes, we love him, but after all, we're not all called to be missionaries, right? So, we get to the edge of the river, and we take a look across. We see some people there who seem to soar and enjoy the other side. But we keep looking at that pipe; it's risky; it takes faith. And we decide to stay where the ground is firm, and we're not at risk. Oh,

Labor Day is a critical mile-marker on the road to the general election, now just two months away. Pollsters are busy processing data and making predictions, but nobody really knows whether America will end up with Donald Trump or Kamala Harris in the White House. Nate Silver is one of America's most well-respected pollsters. The former poker player set up FiveThirtyEight, a polling company and now writes the Silver Bullet on Substack. Nate Silver's latest book On the Edge: the Art of Risking Everything takes a look at two mindsets: the River and the Village.  Nate joins Freddy Gray on the Americano show to discuss probability in sport and politics, how luck is often undervalued in politics, whether VP picks are an key decision in general elections and why J.D. Vance may be a bad choice for Trump.

Without risk, growth is impossible.   Stop and think about that statement for a moment. It's in our nature to avoid risk.You've got to be willing to risk something—whether it is risking your reputation, finances, or time—in order to really grow.   You need a mindset that is willing to embrace risk. A mindset that is striving to take that next step. To keep going. A mindset that understands that otherwise you won't be able to move forward.   This is true both for your career and your personal life. The people who find success and continue to advance are those who keep pushing for better. Whether they tackle a project that seems impossible, push to break record  goals, start a new initiative, and so on.

What do hedge fund managers, poker players and the scientist behind the mRNA vaccine have in common? In his new book, On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, Nate Silver argues that they all exist in what he calls "the River" – a community of like-minded power brokers taking quantitative risks. In today's episode, Silver speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about what differentiates "the River" from what he calls "the Village" – think journalists and professors – and how cancel culture plays a role in this societal structure.

Illicit romance. An abduction. An international manhunt. Starlets, sex appeal, and psychopaths. Sexual liberation and a scandalous story that's almost too scandalous to talk about. These are some of the dark stories inspired by Lana Del Rey, an artist who doesn't fit into a box, and whose music and image are as evocative and compelling as the myth she's built around herself. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including child sexual abuse and domestic violence.

When you get your picture taken, you probably think about being happy, polished, put together, you at your best self. You might even groan at the thought of getting new obligatory head shots for work or LinkedIn or social media or even have some stress over how you look for something celebratory like a graduation or wedding. But what if you got your picture taken when you were at your very lowest?
