Another great episode, but I was shocked when I heard you say you were risk averse and like to be able to sleep at night. I thought Mahalo and other dot coms like it (with lots of venture capital) would be considered the ultimate risk--the ultimate roulette game. You have to take $21 million and create a return that will please investors. You call this being risk averse?
Ha, then again, you've diversified your income streams with this show and your speaking gigs etc. So maybe you've diversified enough that you can consider yourself a risk averse person. And you're not playing with your own money, so in that sense, I guess you're being risk averse.
But even in the context of startup companies, I'm surprised that you really consider your scenario with Mahalo to be not that risky. I would have thought it can't get much riskier.
