Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.
Sarah Davis was a corporate risk manager who began to chafe at the limitations on her life.
Sure, she had a safe job and a comfortable income. She ran marathons (3:38 PR — damn!) and was living the dream in Bondi, Australia.
But something was missing.
When Sarah interrogated herself, she realized that she wasn't living as big or as bold as she wanted.
Did risk management always have to be about minimizing risk at all cost? Or could the principles of risk management inform and guide actual risk taking?
Could she use her professional skill set in tandem with her experience in surf sea kayaking and her love of travel and her pursuit of novelty to do something big and bold and amazing?
In our conversation, we talk about the life lessons learned as she became the first woman to paddle the Nile River from its headwaters in Rwanda all the way to the Nile Delta in Egypt.
I hope you're inspired to step outside of any comfort zones that have got you stuck. I hope you're inspired to identify a passion project and pursue it. And I hope you stay safe and well the whole time!
A couple of the quotable quotes from this episode, as identified by AI:
