Recalculating Risk: Why The Hard Places Hold The Highest Potential

Loading player...
“It is a fallacy and a fantasy to think that you can live your life without risk. So let’s just start there, right? Life is risky – welcome to the game show!”
 
In this fifth episode of Ziwani’s RISK series, Kerryne Krause interviews Curt and Katrina Aitken-Laird – who have spent decades living and working in some of the world’s most fragile contexts, from Afghanistan to Somalia. Drawing from their experiences in building a billion-dollar business in frontier markets and raising a family while being on a hit list – they challenge the short-sighted models of venture capital that often dominate investment decision-making, and call on Christians to rethink the far-reaching opportunities available to them.
 
Be stirred by their honest reflections on joy, grief, redemptive purpose, and the Kingdom logic that dares to go where others won’t.
