What an amazing dad you have and who knew risk-taking was hereditary ;)

I've been following your posts for over a year now and I'm thoroughly impressed.

As a boy from Chennai who's still finding his feet, and has been jumping from one company to another with the aim of finding the right role, I can totally relate. Wish we can catch up sometime, would love some guidance from you.

Regards,

Rajan

Giving our kids a secure, risk free environment is how we enable them to take risks growing up.

Such an awesome, relatable read! Thank you for sharing. I see where the grit to run so hard at parkrun with no training came from. Growing up in a poor immigrant household I've also optimised for safety - doing law and having a few big Aussie corpos on my resume as insurance before 'earning' the risk. You've inspired me to write more about this on my sub eventually!
