Amongst other things he has paddleboarded the length of the Mississippi, skateboarded across Australia, swum 1001 miles, written three books, stayed awake for 72 hours in a row without turning crazy, and for years has tried in vain to get Nutella to sponsor his adventures. But will he give up? Never!
We don’t achieve anything without taking a few risks, and the better we calculate these risks the more likely it is that we will achieve success. Conversely, if we don’t take risks, we are more likely to stagnate and ultimately fail.
Tyler Tervooren’s Advanced Riskology project seeks to explore the very nature of risk and how we can avoid failure by embracing risk. In Tyler’s words, ‘This isn’t Risk Management. This is Risk Appreciation.’
I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by Tyler for Advanced Riskology about halfway down the Mississippi River. It’s a long, 30 minute interview, but to ensure you don’t risk wasting time on the whole thing, Tyler has picked out the highlights.
