Everyone says that you need to speculate to accumulate and that the idea that ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained’ is true. Business is all about risk. 

But risk means that we are going to sometimes encounter failure. Failure is painful and to much failure gets you sacked. So how do we manage risk in the work of B2B selling? How do make sure that we are running the right risks and that we are doing so the right way? 

Of all the skills we need in our jobs, making smart decisions under pressure and sometimes for high stakes must rank as one of the most critical for long-term success. 

In this podcast, Bill talks about facing the risks we need to and how we can apply some basic processes and techniques to situations that can make or break our business.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
