Might help to break down the concept of "risk" in this context:
- Part A: Seeing a distant island full of fruit and thinking "Wow, I'm totally going there - screw everyone else who's just eating potatoes around here."
- Part B: Choosing to make a boat rather than jumping straight in the sea and risking drowning or death by shark.
So the goal itself is risky and/or unknown, but it doesn't mean you have to do stupid or excessively risky things to get there.
There's a lot of overlap between scouting/explorer/pirate behaviour and entrepreneurship - certainly for me. The very same thing that keeps me going as an entrepreneur sees me exploring/climbing and hiking in dangerous but beautiful places. It's an odd personality trait, but one that's evolutionarily advantageous (now the islanders have all the fruit they need) :)
