Everyone is gambling, all the time.
The "risk takers" have the courage to attempt something and gamble with the possibility of failure.
The "risk averse" avoid failure, but gamble with the opportunity cost of what they could have achieved—had they found the courage to try.

Supportive institutions & services will always be needed. However, outside actors cannot know what is needed in citizen space, until we all fully appreciate the abundance of what is there & its potential. In short, we cannot know what a community needs until we know what it has.

Really pleased about this! Fulfills a long held dream & the vision I describe in “We Aren’t Broke.” It is one of the first church-based investments in social enterprise of its kind. Hopefully many more to come! #impactinvesting pres-outlook.org/2022/07/pres-h
