In this candid comeback episode of brAVe [skills], Britt Yenser and Leon Prather dive into the uncomfortable but essential topic of risk aversion. From job changes to leadership decisions, they unpack the real and perceived fears that keep us stuck—and the personal and professional growth that happens when we push past them. Britt shares how mentorship and therapy helped her reframe her fear of failure, while Leon reflects on how experience (and maybe a little stand-up comedy wisdom) shaped his ability to take calculated risks. Together, they explore: -Why comfort isn't always the safe choice -The difference between real and perceived risk -The value of support systems like mentorship and a “personal cabinet” Whether you're leading a team or leading yourself through change, this episode offers thoughtful insights—and a few laughs—about how to move forward when fear says stay put.
