Alex Honnold has been a big influence in how I'm building my business. He discusses risk many times because he gets asked that question too many times. The answers are relevant outside contexts in which life is hanging is a balance. - Take a measured approach to risk. Building a startup is not a blind leap, more about sound analysis and knowing the limits of what you can do. - Do what you love doing. Continuously train, excel. - A very rational approach to life. Many people who attempt such adventure have somewhat irrational beliefs, believe in some force, spirituality etc. He doesn't need them. Explanations are simpler in terms of what we know, and what we don't know yet. - While this may not appeal to everyone, his living out of a van thing is as inspiring as anything else he does. I guess one would see success and failure differently if they experience life in that format.
