Amy, as far as risk-taking and frankly decision-making goes, some of the best advice I was given (albeit in the context of tech product management) is go as quickly as possible through two-way doors, and to be more more cautious with one-way doors. Basically if it's something you can quickly reverse course on then go for it as fast as possible. Anyway, helps me challenge myself to take more risks, especially for those that aren't really that risky in the grand scheme of things :)

Loved this message. Being in the business of creation, I've noticed pragmatism and logic get thrown to the wayside when the creator is not sitting firmly in their values. So easy to get swayed from the noise and opinion of others. You lose connection with that gut instinct and the grit it takes to make the unpopular (uncool) and pragmatic choices that keep the business afloat.
