How much risk should we take to get what we want? Some people seem to thrive on uncertainty, while others spend their lives trying to avoid it. But is taking more risk necessarily better, and how do we know when a risk is worth taking? Join Edward, a geological engineer and motorsport enthusiast, live from Manchester, for a fascinating discussion about risk, reward and the choices that shape our lives. Using the extraordinary world of motorsport — from Formula 1 to motorcycle racing — as a backdrop, we'll explore how professional racers make decisions when the stakes are incredibly high, and what their experiences can teach us about the risks we face in our own careers, businesses, relationships, finances and personal ambitions.

Together, we'll ask what separates courage from recklessness, why some people are natural risk-takers while others prefer the safety of the familiar, and how our willingness to take risks changes as we get older. Is a decision necessarily bad just because it leads to a bad outcome? Can playing it safe sometimes be the biggest risk of all? And how much should we allow the possible consequences of failure to influence our choices? You don't need to know anything about motorsport to join — the racing provides the stories, but the conversation is about real life and the surprisingly difficult decisions we all face. Come ready to challenge your assumptions, share your experiences and perhaps discover that the most important question isn't how much risk you can take, but how much risk is right for you.

为了得到想要的东西，我们该冒多大的险？有些人好像就是在不确定里越活越来劲，另一些人则一辈子都在躲它。但冒更多险就一定更好吗？我们又怎么知道一个险值不值得冒？跟着 Edward 来聊一场有意思的讨论吧。他是地质工程师，也是赛车运动爱好者，会从曼彻斯特连线。这次我们聊风险、回报，还有那些塑造我们人生的选择。我们会拿赛车运动这个特别带感的世界当背景——从 F1 到摩托车比赛——看看职业车手在赌注高得吓人的时候是怎么做决定的，以及他们的经历能教我们什么，关于我们在自己的工作、生意、感情、财务和个人野心里面对的那些风险。

我们会一起问：勇气和鲁莽之间到底差在哪？为什么有些人天生就爱冒险，另一些人更喜欢熟悉带来的安全感？我们愿意冒险的程度，又是怎么随着年龄变的？一个决定带来了坏结果，就一定说明这个决定本身是错的吗？有时候求稳，会不会反而是最大的风险？我们又该让失败可能带来的后果，多大程度地影响自己的选择？不懂赛车运动也完全没关系——赛车提供故事，但聊的是真实生活，还有我们所有人都会面对的那些意外地难做的决定。准备好来挑战自己的假设、分享你的经历，也许还会发现，最重要的问题不是你最多能冒多大的险，而是多大的风险才真正适合你。
