Why are we so afraid of risk?

In this episode, we are exploring the question – why are we so afraid of risk?

Joining us is Patrick Regan, OBE, whose illustrious career and life’s work has definitely not been averse, as you’ll discover. An activist and founder of two award-winning charities, XLP and, most recently, Kintsugi Hope, Patrick advocates passionately in the space of resilience, courage and wellbeing – particularly for young people facing social justice issues, and those struggling with mental health issues, and his book, Brighter Days, which is centred on practical tips to invest in your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health.

This conversation delves into not only the realities of risk taking, but of Patrick’s striking ability to understand, and poignantly articulate the impact of taking a risk in leadership. As you’ll discover, there’s a lot more to it than standing on a ledge and taking a leap of faith – his words of wisdom will captivate and inspire even the most risk-averse to appreciate, and even take a big risk of their own.
