Are you playing it safe... and losing?
In this episode of Jimmy's Jobs of the Future, journalist and Risk Roulette author Graham Ruddick breaks down why risk isn’t what you think it is - and why avoiding it might be the biggest mistake of all.
We dive into how visionaries like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Simon Arora used bold bets to win big, why British business culture punishes risk, and how Zuckerberg’s MMA fight became a metaphor for Meta’s strategy. From the Ratner blunder to the EasyJet playbook, this episode is a tour through the real game of business - where risk = power.
Whether you're a founder, student, or future policymaker this is a masterclass in how to use risk to your advantage.
