2016-05-29 Your Risk Capacity Show With Kayt Sukel & Ed Fulbright on Mastering Your Money Radio
Are risk-takers born or made? I want to know how successful risk-takers are doing it
· What particular blend of biology and experience held within allows us to know what risks are worth taking
· What risks should be left alone
What is risk? Risk is often described in terms of either statistics or impending doom. But not even scientists fully agree on a working definition. There are fascinating neurological pathways that provide the “gas” and the “brakes” when we are faced with a risky decision. Some of us have the kind of biology that makes us put on the brakes more often, while others have genes that actually contribute to making poor decisions.
