b"As you listen, I really want you to consider your own stories. When did you learn these lessons? Can you remember? Sometimes digging up your own past can have great benefit, especially if you are made to remember that one singular moment in time when you learned something vital. It\\u2019s almost like learning it all over again. That\\u2026is the purpose of these stories. In fact, I think there is nothing quite so human as the hearing and telling of stories. It\\u2019s how our ancestors conveyed critical information from one generation to the next. The stories told around campfires the world over are what eventually shaped our species into what it is today. Today\\u2019s story, called The Unworthy Risk, Taught me the formula to know wether or not a risk is acceptable...or stupid. Turns out...there is a thin line between the two, but we don't have to cross it if we are paying attention."
