  • Summary

  • Success can often be judged as pre-ordained or “who you know” or about money or good luck or simple fate. That debilitating and defeatist worldview can be challenged. Maybe hard work, perseverance, taking risks, and making your own luck can be equally powerful, The power of true life stories in all their rich detail of success and setbacks can provide a positive framework and instructive lessons for those facing challenges and scary opportunities. Join Daniel Confino and Sarah Sharman on their brand new show.

    Nicola Rossi - Embracing Life's Risks
    Dec 28 2022
    Nicola is a published award winning author with a mission to warn and educate on the dystopian possibilities of modern life and tech influence. We can start to see the origins as she takes us through her life story. A childhood marked by fantasies and a rich imaginative life, as an only child surrounded by unlimited ice cream, TV shows and Frankenstein monsters. Her experience of adults include the extremes of duty bound ties to the family shop and failing alcohol and depression models. Nicola’s unblinking honesty is painful at times and she opens up (maybe for the first time) on the trauma she experienced as a young adult. Nicola takes a measured approach to risk. She utters the famous words “what’s the worst that can happen” but she had to be bored and feeling disengaged after a long traditional career to make the big move from comfy job to creative writer through several gateways. It is a very emotional interview. Sarah chokes up at one stage. Daniel the complete softy is always watery eyed. The only one keeping her poise is Nicola who seems to draw upon some inner strength to see her through. Maybe it is knowing that she as a child used to visit, in all innocence, Britain’s most prolific hangman Albert Pierrepoint, that inoculates against the bad stuff in life. Join us in this great interview as we attempt to connect the dots and draw the lessons for life.
