A lot of people have asked about what risk taking looks like in my future. Now I still identify as a climber and an adventurer. I like going out and rafting rivers and exploring slot canyons and climbing mountains. I'm probably not going to drop all of that from my life. Am I going to take a little bit less risk in the future? Almost surely. Almost surely. Am I ever going to climb the north face of the Grand Teton again? Almost surely not. Right. Will I go back to the Grand Teton? Almost surely I will. There are much safer, easier routes on that mountain, and it is a place that I truly do love. There's risk out there. Life is not risk free. We all have to deal with it, whether it's in our finances or our activities or just our daily lives. Be smart about risk and protect yourself from it as best you can. But don't try to run from all risk in your life. You'll likely end up not having a life worth living if you do that.
