<p><strong>In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Michele Wucker discuss:</strong></p><ul><li>What the gray rhino is and what it means.</li><li>Why people are hesitant to take risks.</li><li>Risk tolerances, risk adversity, and individual risk relationships.</li><li>Evaluating risks and understanding the risk of not taking a risk.</li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>We should not assume that because something is ever present and talked about means that it is being handled properly or that you aren’t vulnerable to that issue.</li><li>The more you take risks, the more you develop your risk muscle, and the better you get at it.</li><li>By trying to avoid certain risks, you are creating other ones.</li><li>There are ways that we can increase our own risk taking, such as eating spicy foods, cranking the air conditioner, or turning on upbeat music.</li></ul><p> </p><p><i><strong>"People make an average, give or take, of 35,000 choices a day. Every one of those choices is a risk, and every risk is a choice. But do we think of them as constant risk taking throughout our day? If we do, we become much more self aware about the risks that we're comfortable with." </strong></i><strong>—  Michele Wucker</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Connect with Michele Wucker:  </strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://thegrayrhino.com/">https://thegrayrhino.com/</a> & <a href="https://www.wucker.com/">https://www.wucker.com/</a></p><p>Book: <a href="https://www.wucker.com/writing/the-gray-rhino/">https://www.wucker.com/writing/the-gray-rhino/</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/wucker/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/wucker/</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/wucker">https://twitter.com/wucker</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MicheleWucker/">https://www.facebook.com/MicheleWucker/</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Thank you to our Sponsors!</strong></p><p>Legalese Marketing: <a href="https://legaleasemarketing.com/">https://legaleasemarketing.com/</a></p><p>Moneypenny: <a h
