Podcasts about taking risks

My guest today is Sarah Guo, founder and managing partner of Conviction, the venture firm she built to back AI-native companies from their earliest days.  Sarah has become one of the most sought-after early-stage investors in AI, often the first check into the companies defining the frontier.  In this conversation, we go inside that frontier: what the small group of people actually building AI believe right now, why some of the field's best researchers are wrestling with their own sense of purpose, and how close we are to robots in the home and a genuine acceleration in scientific discovery.  At the center is Sarah's conviction that no single company will own the future of AI, and what that means for founders, investors, and anyone allocating their time and resources in a world moving this fast. Our managing editor Dom Cooke wrote a profile of Sarah for Colossus, "Sarah's Wager," on how she built the firm closest to the AI frontier and why she's now betting against its biggest companies.  Please enjoy this conversation with Sarah Guo.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. Join us at the Race For the Future 12 to raise money for the Foundation For Dental Laborary Technology. September 27th in Valley View, Texas! https://dentallabfoundation.org/news-events/race-for-the-future/ Shawn Nowak from Nowak Dental Supplies joins Elvis and Barb to talk all things NOLA LabFest October 15-17th, including the welcome addition to the speaker lineup: martial arts instructor and business coach Jude Grayson. After Jude's keynote at last year's LabFest, the response was strong enough to bring him back for another keynote and a breakout session. The conversation starts with the obvious question: what the heck does a karate instructor know about the dental laboratory industry? As Jude explains, quite a bit. Having practiced martial arts since he was five years old and built a career around teaching, competition, entrepreneurship, and business coaching, Jude draws a surprising number of parallels between martial arts and business. He talks about discipline, competition, confidence, risk, and his “five-year-old board break moment”—the idea that sometimes the ability to succeed is already inside us, and the right coach simply helps unlock it. He also explains how those lessons translate into working with business owners and helping them recognize opportunities they may not see themselves. The conversation then turns toward one of the biggest challenges facing dental laboratories today: knowing when it's time to pivot. With technology, AI, 3D printing, changing doctor workflows, and the evolving DSO landscape continuing to reshape the industry, Jude's NOLA LabFest keynote will focus on how business owners can recognize when change is necessary, decide when to act, and understand the risks that come with being an early adopter. He also shares some great perspective on failure, competition, and why making a bad business decision doesn't necessarily mean you've lost—the real loss comes when you stop competing altogether. Shawn also gives us a look at what else is happening at NOLA LabFest, including education on AI, social media marketing, employee culture, DSOs, and other topics affecting dental laboratories right now. And, of course, there's plenty of the NOLA LabFest fun mixed in, from the masquerade party and distillery tour to the return of Family Feud. It's a conversation about business, leadership, taking risks, and finding ways to keep dental laboratories moving forward—and it all starts with a karate instructor walking into a dental show.Special Guests: Jude Grayson and Shawn Nowak.

What if the key to building a successful life isn’t having everything figured out—but simply doing the job that’s right in front of you? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Matthew Hennessey, editor of Free Expression at The Wall Street Journal, for a wide-ranging conversation about career, marriage, ambition, failure, and finding your path in life. Hennessey shares his unconventional journey from chasing an acting career in Hollywood to becoming a journalist and eventually landing at The Wall Street Journal. He explains why meeting his wife became a pivotal moment in both his personal life and career, and why young people may have it backwards when they believe they need to establish themselves professionally before getting married. Karol and Matthew also discuss the value of taking risks, learning to do difficult things, supporting children as they pursue uncertain dreams, and why success often comes one small step at a time. Hennessey also explains what The Wall Street Journal represents beyond finance and Wall Street, shares his concerns about the possibility of a major economic downturn, and offers a surprisingly optimistic perspective on artificial intelligence and the economy. Finally, he leaves listeners with a simple piece of advice that has guided his career and life: Do the job that’s in front of you, and the future will take care of itself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to a brand-new season of The Retreat Leaders Podcast. This episode is a little different. Instead of diving into retreat marketing strategies or interviewing a guest, Shannon shares exciting updates about the future of the podcast, reflects on the incredible community that has helped grow the show into the top 2% of podcasts globally, and gives listeners a preview of what's ahead. The biggest change? The podcast is leveling up. Going forward, most interviews will be recorded in person from Shannon's new podcast studio in Austin, Texas. The goal is to create deeper conversations, stronger connections, and even more valuable content for retreat leaders and entrepreneurs. If you have expertise that can help retreat leaders build better retreats or more profitable businesses, Shannon would love to hear from you. Guests are welcome to apply if they're willing to travel to Austin.

Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)1967

I almost didn't record this episode. Talking about money on the internet is weird. Half the comments will tell you you're an idiot. The other half assume you're bragging. But over the last few months I've realized something. I've shared a lot about building wealth. I've never really shared what happens after. Jordan and I have built roughly a $12.5 million net worth. We've sold businesses. We've invested millions. We've made some incredible decisions. We've also made some really average ones. And today I simply want to show you exactly how we think. This isn't financial advice. Honestly... This is almost more of a diary. I'm not here to tell you what to invest in. I'm simply pulling back the curtain on what we've done, what has worked for us, what hasn't, and how we're thinking about the next thirty years.   Time Stamps:     (0:20) Why I'm Nervous About This Episode (5:30) Money Is A Scoreboard (10:10) Entrepreneur vs Investor (13:28) What The Portfolio Looks Like  (20:10) Taking Risks  (21:38) The Retirement Era (23:55) Freedom vs Size of Home (25:15) The Lesson Is The Strategy ----------------

Christian Arcand starts off today's show with his reaction to the Red Sox trading for Curtis Mead and telling everyone how he likes the trade.

And should the team make a big splash before the trade deadline?

What moves are still to come for the Boston Red Sox? Should Breslow be more risky right now as the trade deadline approaches us?

Adam Charlap Hyman and Andre Herrero met as students at RISD, but they didn't start a firm until 2014, after connecting when they happened to be employed by different firms working on the same project. In a short amount of time, Charlap Hyman and Herrero have become two of the design industry's brightest young stars, earning a spot on Elle Decor's A-List and the AD100, and this year winning the annual interior design award from the Cooper Hewitt museum. Their work pushes boundaries—occasionally surreal, often driven by narrative, the unveiling of a new  Charlap Hyman & Herrero project is always cause for excitement. On this episode of the podcast, host Dennis Scully speaks with the two designers about their unique process for establishing a shared visual language with clients, how they made the best of scrappy early projects, and how getting press has helped them take more risks.

Giovanni Vaccaro is the co-founder of GlamSquad, the beauty services platform that has delivered nearly two million services and built a network of more than 2,000 beauty professionals across the United States. Starting as a hairstylist with a passion for helping people build confidence, Giovanni transformed his expertise into a category-defining business. Today, he also coaches founders, executives, and high performers through his company Peak Mode, helping them overcome self-imposed limitations, develop stronger leadership identities, and unlock their next level of growth. On this episode we talk about: How Giovanni went from working in his family's pizza business to becoming a successful hairstylist and entrepreneur Why fear, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt often prevent people from pursuing bigger opportunities The mindset shift that turns fear of failure into fear of regret Building GlamSquad from an idea into a nationally recognized beauty platform How to find the right business partners, investors, and relationships for long-term success Top 3 Takeaways The biggest risk is often not taking a risk at all. What feels safe today can quickly become obsolete in a rapidly changing world. When facing a major decision, imagine the regret you'll feel years from now if you never take action—it can be a more powerful motivator than fear. Successful partnerships are built on complementary skill sets, aligned values, trust, and a shared vision for the future. Notable Quotes "The worst possible scenario never happens 93% of the time." "Safety and security are just an illusion." "The fear of regret is ten times more powerful than the fear of actually doing the thing."

In this episode of Nonviolence Radio, we speak with animal rights activist Zoe Rosenberg about nonviolent direct action, open rescue, and the personal costs of standing up for animals. A recent graduate of UC Berkeley, where she designed her own major in social movement strategy, Zoe brings both practical experience and thoughtful analysis to the challenges facing today's animal rights movement. She shares her experience rescuing chickens from Perdue's Petaluma Poultry facilities, the legal consequences that followed—including a felony conviction, house arrest, and time in solitary confinement—and why those experiences only deepened her commitment to nonviolence.The conversation explores the history of repression in the animal rights movement, the ongoing campaign to rescue beagles from Ridglan Farms, and the power of principled action to expose hidden suffering and inspire change. Zoe offers a compelling vision of what it means to extend our circle of care to all living beings and to build movements capable of transforming both hearts and institutions.

In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, Craig Smith and I sit down for a candid conversation about life, growth, and the importance of taking risks. We discuss Craig's decision to step into a new career opportunity, the fear and uncertainty that come with major life changes, and why so many people never give themselves the chance to see what's possible because they're unwilling to bet on themselves. This wasn't a structured episode with one main topic. Just two friends talking shop, sharing lessons, and exploring what it means to pursue growth even when it's uncomfortable. If you've ever felt stuck, scared to make a move, or needed a reminder to trust yourself, you'll enjoy this conversation.   Next Level Links: Work With a Nutrition Coach - Schedule A Consultation Nutrition Coaching - www.becomenextlevel.com   Partner Links: Try Thrive Lab Free For One Month - Start Here Order Supplements From Transform - Shop Here Order Supplements From Cured Nutrition - Shop Here Order Supplements From Legion (use code keynutrition for 20% off first order) - Shop Here   Be Featured on the Show: Apply to be a live calller guest on the show - Submit Application Here Submit Q&A Questions to be read live on the show - Submit Here   Free Guides: Eating Out Guide - Get The Guide High-Protein Fast Food Orders - Get the Guide Macro Food Options Guide - Get The Guide Join Us On Patreon - Join Here   Connect with us on Instagram: Host Brad Jensen – @thesoberbodybuilder Co-Host Craig Smith - @greatestdaymindset Next Level Nutrition – @mynextlevelnutrition

What would you be willing to risk to give your community something truly valuable? In this episode, host Katie Crane gets real about what it actually takes to build a Pilates studio that honours the full method. From a very public business attack to losing 40% of her clients, to finally opening the last room of her dream studio — Katie shares an honest, behind-the-scenes look at the risks she took and why she would do it all again. In This Episode, We Discuss Why Katie relocated her Darwin studio in March 2025 — and what it really cost her The public media attack that dragged her business name through the dirt Losing 40% of her client base during the relocation and how she rebuilt The opening of her new wall tower room and why it brought her to tears Why teaching reformer-only Pilates is doing your clients a disservice The neuroscience behind movement: "Neurons that fire together, wire together" Why functional, upright movement matters more than perfecting supine exercises How the reformer boom will eventually burst — and who will be left standing What it truly means to invest in Pilates as a complete system Key Takeaways ✨ The reformer is a tool, not the whole system The reformer is one piece of the Pilates apparatus. When clients only ever use one tool, they miss the full benefit of the Pilates method. ✨ Functional movement means upright movement Neurons that fire together wire together. If your clients only ever practice lying down, they only get better at lying down. The goal is to help people move well in real life. ✨ Business risk is part of serving your community Katie spent over $100,000 more than planned on the relocation. She lost clients. She rebuilt her brand. And she says it was worth it. ✨ The reformer bubble will burst The ones that survive will be the ones that truly understand and apply the full Pilates method. About Katie Crane Katie Crane is the founder of The Pilates Lounge in Darwin, Australia, and host of The Pilates Lounge Podcast. With over 20 years of experience teaching Pilates, Katie is passionate about evidence-informed practice, the full Pilates apparatus, and supporting movement professionals to serve their communities with integrity.

This week, we are joined by Ryan and Karina Martinez of Life Upside Down to talk about discerning God's voice in a world full of noise, the tension between caution and obedience, and the fear of getting it wrong when faith requires risk.

Through personal stories, she explores the emotions that come with pursuing dreams and why it's important to acknowledge and work through those feelings.

You ​keep ​approaching ​the ​idea ​of ​taking ​those ​risks, ​but ​it's ​kind ​of ​torturing ​you ​because ​you ​keep ​approaching ​it, ​and ​then ​you ​keep ​hitting ​a ​wall. ​Everything ​feels ​too ​scary and ​so ​you're ​like, ​well, ​let ​me ​kind ​of ​think ​through my ​past–right? ​So ​there's ​this ​formula, ​and ​it ​feels ​like ​an ​airtight ​formula, ​and ​that's ​where ​we ​kind ​of ​get ​trapped, because if one or ​two ​of ​those ​variables ​feel ​off, you're like ‘​ooh, ​the ​risk ​of ​failure ​is ​now ​high'.

I believe most of us are living far below our capacity for joy and fulfillment and wholeness. The fear of failure, of the unknown, of being uncertain holds us back from being willing to take a risk and change the trajectory of our lives. But if we want to experience something different, we have to dream something different and then courage up to create it. And it is all up to you.

SummaryOn this episode of the Startup Junkies podcast, Alex Kruchten, co-founder of Hemut, joins Caleb Talley and Harrison Kitson to share his journey from adventurous student to tech entrepreneur and how Hemut is revolutionizing the trucking industry.Alex unpacks the founding story of Hemut, a venture born from the resourcefulness of his co-founder, who overcame extraordinary odds and built a multimillion-dollar trucking operation in his teens. Together, their team identified a major problem: trucking companies rely on outdated systems, with most current Transportation Management Systems (TMS) dating back to the ‘90s or early 2000s. Hemut's mission is to modernize these processes, eliminating unnecessary middlemen, and finally giving trucking companies the automation and workflow efficiency they deserve.The conversation highlights Hemut's unique approach, including co-locating their development team within client offices to ensure rapid iteration based on real-time user feedback. Alex also explains how programs like Y Combinator and Arkansas's Fuel Accelerator expanded their network, opening doors to communities geared toward supporting high-growth tech businesses.Beyond the business, Alex emphasizes the power of genuine relationships, taking risks, and the value of authentic connection.

Welcome to part two of our deathbed regrets series. Last week I covered the first four regrets—this week I'm finishing with the final six, and these might hit even harder because they're about living on autopilot, postponing joy, and holding grudges.   Regret #5: Not choosing happiness. Happiness isn't something that happens to you—it's a daily decision.  Regret #6: Not taking the risk. People don't regret what they tried and failed at—they regret what they never tried.  Regret #7: Not prioritizing self-care. Not bubble baths—actual care. Meeting your needs, protecting your energy, honoring your body.  Regret #8: Not taking the vacation. Both literally and metaphorically. People regret not traveling while they had their health, but this is also about not postponing joy.  Regret #9: Not living in the present. Harvard research found we spend 47% of our waking hours thinking about something other than what we're doing—and it makes us less happy. Presence isn't passive, it's a practice. Regret #10: Not forgiving. Both others and yourself. Forgiveness research shows lower stress, better cardiovascular health, better sleep.    You have enough history to know where your regret lies. Do you have enough courage to stop rehearsing it and start rewriting it?

Jane's Addiction's Dave Navarro was only 15 years old when his mother was brutally murdered in her apartment by her ex-boyfriend. The killer escaped, and for eight long years eluded capture. During those years, Dave Navarro couldn't shake the pain of his mother's death or the fear of knowing that the man responsible was at large. He became addicted to heroin. He nearly died when he OD'd in a London flat. And his addiction helped drive a rift in his band just as they were reaching a critical and commercial height. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including descriptions of stalking and domestic violence. This episode was originally published on December 5, 2023.
