FinTech4Good and World Digital Economy Council jointly organize a FinTech4Good Venture University- FinTech4Good Advisor series. In this episode, we will discuss on how to making difficult risk decisions.

Making difficult risk decisions is comparable to kissing a rattlesnake. It is never fun and can be fatal. But, the more you systematically consider what’s really important to you, what information is missing, what the collective wisdom is telling you – and you make a commit to evaluating what is my downside relative to what is really important to me – the better your decisions will be. Learn more from a top risk management expert, David X Martin, a FinTech4Good Advisor, in our show.
