Playing it safe might be the riskiest move of all.
In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I speak with Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group and author of Uplevel, about why so-called “safe” business decisions often backfire—especially during uncertain economic times.
We dive into the difference between risk and recklessness, and why strategic boldness is essential for innovation, growth, and sustainability. If you’ve ever hesitated to take a leap in your business, this conversation will shift your mindset.
Key Takeaways
✅ Playing it safe can lead to stagnation and decline
✅ Bold leadership isn’t about recklessness—it’s about calculated courage
✅ Companies that “wait and see” often get left behind
✅ Recession-proofing requires action, not hesitation
✅ Strategic risk is the path to sustainable growth
