176. Bold Risks with Anne Marie Anderson

The Opposite of Small Talk

As human beings most of us tend to be adverse to risk – as a matter of self preservation. However, today’s guest argues that having the audacity or trying something new, to take bold risks, when it comes to goals, can be more than worth the risk. Anne Marie Anderson, three-time Emmy Award winning broadcaster, keynote speaker and author of the new book, Cultivating Audacity: Dismantle Doubt and Let Yourself Win, sits down with us for a conversation, which includes the four common barriers that keep people from taking a risk, how it’s important to have people who encourage you to act boldly in your network, and the importance of having a support mindset.
