Most people who build something will tell you the hard part is the work. It is not. The hard part is knowing what enough looks like, and almost nobody says that out loud. One version of drive looks like excellence. Another looks like addiction. From the inside, the two can feel identical.
Charlie Deaver and Daniel Clarke spend a full episode sitting in that question: where ambition stops being healthy, what has kept one of them working harder than he probably should, the cost they have watched other founders pay without ever choosing it, the opportunities they turned down on purpose, and what is left of legacy once you look at it honestly.

What is Risky Assets?
What do you really know about insurance? Charlie Deaver and Daniel Clarke host Risky Assets, a podcast about insurance, financial strategy, entrepreneurship, and business management. They talk about how insurance is a means to investing in the future, and a necessary tool to be wielded by business owners. Their goal in both the podcast and their work at Greyhawk Insurance is to educate people on what proper structure is for their insurance, to think creatively about risk, and to share their experience with business owners who care about doing insurance right.
