Antifragile and Growing From Adversity With Geoff Gilman

Join Chad Wooters and Cohost Geoff Gilman as they explore the concept of "antifragile" as explained by Nassim Nicholas Taleb! How can we grow from adversity and disorder?

Show Notes

Geoff and Chad have been discussing this concept of "antifragile" from "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder"
(a book) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. As Geoff explains the concept that there is no word for the opposite of fragile and the concepts that Nassim explains, we start to explore the possible applications.

Your first thought maybe that steel is antifragile, but you are mistaken. Steel is robust; it does not change in disorder; it remains static. While something that is genuinely antifragile grows from this disorder.

What is Kairos Talks?

Kairos is the “Opportune time in which to accomplish a crucial action.”

“Kairos” (Ancient Greek: καιρός) – referred to the proper time that an archer would release the arrow through the bows of the greeks; it was the best time to release the arrow to hit the mark (or target).

Our opportune time is now; our crucial action is being the best we can be and influencing the world by committing to be our best selves.

To ask questions and start conversations that others consider uncomfortable and explore ideas that will challenge ourselves and encourage others.

Your story matters, your questions matter, and today is your opportune time.
