The All Things Risk Podcast

I talk to Perry Marshall about his book "Evolution 2.0" - which aims to look at evolution in a way that is different to what advocates of Intelligent Design and Neo-Darwinism believe. Perry's insights are fascinating and thought provoking.

This is an episode about play, fear, power, and in fact “super powers”. My guest is Tonya Recla. Tonya is a former US counter-intelligence agent.

What is involved in decision-making and risk-taking in the cockpit of the world's fastest fighter jets? My guest Tim Davies is here to explain and to provide lessons that are applicable far and wide.

Stepping outside one’s comfort zone is a critical element of effective risk-taking. This is true for many pursuits, from physical challenges, career decisions through to personal relationships. It is also a crucial component in negotiation.

This week, we talk mountains. My guest is Cathy O’Dowd. Cathy is an adventurer, speaker and author. She was the first woman to have summited Mount Everest from both the North and South sides.

The 7-day Haute Route Alps cycling event takes on the most famous and difficult Alpine climbs like the Alpe d"Huez, the Col d'Izoard, the Col du Glandon, the Col de la Madeleine, and others. It involves cycling 900km and climbing 20,000+ metres. Haute Route also runs other events in the Pyrenees, Dolomites, Rockies as well as a number of smaller events. What does it take to complete and run one of these? Event Director Benjamin Chandelier explains

It may sound trite, but when The Economist this week talked about the end of the internal combustion engine this week, and we hear stories about ransomware, the hacking of Game of Thrones, or cyberwarfare, we truly are experiencing the dawn of a new age. That new age is driven by the virtual world and it involves hackers, bots, cyber warriors and cyber terrorists – and it may evolve into something even more dystopian.

Laura Dal Farra makes her return to the show. Laura was my guest on episode 3. She is a writer, entrepreneur and martial artist. If you haven’t yet done so, you can listen to her journey spending three and a half years learning Muay Thai in Thailand in that episode. This is Round 2 of that discussion.

Why is it important to sometimes (in fact, more often than you might think) use fear as a mechanism for facing uncertainty? Why and how might there be merit to letting the things you want “come to you”? What do we get wrong about the concept of the ego? These are just some of the fascinating areas I explore with my guests on this week’s episode. Meet Guy and Ilan Ferdman.
