When he first had 2 job offers and we picked one over the other, wasn’t it a gamble? 

When we started a business, wasn’t it a gamble 

When we venture out in the days of COVID, wasn’t it a gamble ?

When we took the advice of a financial planner and consultant and put our money somewhere wasn’t it a gamble ?

Why am I talking about risk today … cause the world today needs more risk takers … people who despite their upbringing and  beliefs, need to  step out and try something that’s bold, something new, something that could potentially disrupt their industry, profession or life, something that could change the world or at least their world.

I would always wonder how there were some people who had this amazing ability to connect people to other people and just make things happen. 

These people were the go to people when any one needed advice in the family and they almost always came through. This was by virtue of who they were and who they knew.  

Did you know someone like that in your family or the friends that your family had? Someone that everyone reached out to when they needed something? 

Did you ever wonder why some people are asked for an opinion or assistance more than others ? 

Is it because of the successes they had in their lives, or is because of their experiences or is it trust, credibility and good will? 

In this episode I discuss connectors, their amazing ability and also how anyone can and should be a connector. The world will be a better place for it.

In this episode I speak about some key learnings from early instances in my life and from that of a few people I've really looked upto. Yes times are hard but this is not the time to throw in the towel.
