Are you a risk taker or do you tend to overthink before taking action?
In this episode, we dive into the nuanced world of risk-taking, particularly in the context of growing a private practice.
Leah shares her tendency to be risk-averse and the overthinking spiral that can result from facing risky decisions. Annie, on the other hand, describes herself as someone who jumps into ideas quickly, often figuring things out as she goes.
We explore the idea that both cautious planning and spontaneous action require their own forms of bravery and confidence.
“It’s worth it to take risks in your business sometimes.”
In this episode, we will cover:
- Learning from different approaches to risk (5:23)
- The importance of balance in risk-taking (7:03)
- Saying No to Protect Time and Energy (11:39)
- The Role of Planning in Risk Management (15:20)
Each month we host a live Deeper Dive so you can connect with us, our special guests, and each other + get lifetime access to the recording!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
