“Yes, it is difficult to believe that we are not entirely rational in our daily decisions and actions. However, by admitting that we are biased, realizing that we should question our choices, and stepping outside of our comfort zone, we are able to open up our eyes to a whole new horizon.”
Ahmed AlAnsari, The Brand Dependence Model: Identify & Mitigate Your Danger Blocks

“Trying to skirt risk is how we squeeze out all the fun and stunt the most wondrous gift: imagination.”
