Are You Afraid of Taking the Risks That Could Change Your Life?

Are You Afraid of Taking the Risks That Could Change Your Life?

When was the last time you took a risk—not just any risk, but one that challenged the very way you lead?

In this episode of the Creative Potential Podcast, host Chris Decker dives deep with Jeremy Axel, a business owner with a refreshingly honest take on leadership. Together, they explore a theme that’s both provocative and essefntial: the role of risk and authenticity in unlocking true leadership potential.

Think about it: How often do leaders operate on autopilot, tethered to safe decisions, stagnant mindsets, and predictable paths?

Jeremy argues that a genuine leader doesn’t just lead; they rewire their mindset, break free from restrictions, and embrace risk as a conduit for growth.

If you’re not willing to risk, can you truly lead?


break free from the shackles of restrictive thinking

Overcoming Restrictive Mindsets: Jeremy talks about freeing oneself from limiting beliefs.

Are your mindsets expanding your possibilities—or shrinking them?


The journey is fought with obstacles, but that's ok.

Leading with Risk: Taking calculated risks, he says, is more than a business strategy; it’s a leadership essential.

Are you taking the risks necessary to innovate and inspire?


Are you just a shadow of your real self at work? Wearing a mask?

The Power of Authenticity: For Jeremy, authenticity isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s non-negotiable.

Are you leading with your real self or hiding behind a professional mask?


Failure is not a set back, but another step of the process.

Learning from Failure: What if failure isn’t just a setback but a step forward?

This episode explores the idea that every failure is a lesson waiting to be embraced.


Building Meaningful Relationships: If you’re not creating strong, genuine relationships, what are you building?

In a world obsessed with results, Jeremy’s journey serves as a reminder: The path to true leadership might just be the one where you risk, stumble, and grow.

What’s one area in your leadership where you’re ready to take a risk?

Chris, this perspective is so refreshing! Embracing risk is indeed the heartbeat of authentic leadership. It's through our failures that we discover our true selves and inspire others to follow.
