Om Podcasten

Safety is Freedom defines an attitude and an approach to risk management. We have talked about this at Henry’s Avalanche Talk ever since we started. Now we are launching these podcasts to explore the subject of risk management and decision making through the experiences of successful people in adventure sports, business, finance, medicine, healthcare. Safety and Freedom can be seen as opposites. But is that right? It is only by feeling safe that we are free to enjoy our sport, to succeed in business, to invest for growth and to provide medical care.
