Should you quit or job? What skills do you want to acquire? How do you evaluate how much you’ll actually earn? If you’re great at what you do, it turns out that the only kind of risk is not taking risk at all. This is my quick guide on how to think through different opportunities that come your way. Learning early on is more important, but earning is absolutely something you need to focus on mid-career.

mah lawrd.. man cleared all my doubts thanks you got a new sub
Thanks for the great advice to early-stage and frankly all entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs
Love the content!
This is absolutely superb. The “Star Trek” clip is perfect.
My turning point was when I was told by a successful businessman: so you’re telling me, risk analysis has made more money from you than you from it?!
No looking back after that.
You are an absolute legend, Garry!
Your videos motivated me to pivot in to software engineering from aerospace engineering, currently doing masters in AI.
P.S. My first YouTube comment ever.
Almost embarrassed I never got on to Garry's pearls of wisdom earlier! Saving this one!
Hey, your calm voice and mannerisms are so comforting to me. Thanks so much for all your advice and the insights you're passing on to us is absolutely priceless! Much appreciated
