Tyler Tervooren helps us take smarter risks, and shows the way to better living through uncertainty

June 1, 2014 by Matt 2 Comments

Tyler Tervooren of Riskology.co is our guest on Story Signals this week, and I’m grateful he took the time to share his story and advice with us. We talk about risk-taking, habit formation, and better living through uncertainty. Tyler’s experience and skill in balancing story with data leads to advice which both inspirational and instructional.

In 2010, Tyler was a part of series of layoffs in his company, leaving him with the opportunity to pursue a niche in finding correlations in risk, behavior patterns, resiliency. You’ll find many applicable actions from this conversation, but these stood out.

  1. The ways Tyler found adventure and risks were making him smarter, stronger, and more attractive.
  2. How he was able to find the convergence of talent, interest, and funding to become a bootstrapper.
  3. Why he has never (successfully) started a new habit without taking the time to slowly and steadily build the habit.
