On this week’s episode, a story of how chasing opportunity is often the best response to threat.

The idea of using opportunity to fend off threat isn’t new, but in the risk management world, particularly in the last 10 to 15 years, the general response to threat is to bunker down and defend. To retreat into your shell, weather out the storm, and then resume business as usual.

The reality it, KFC wouldn’t exist if Harland Sanders, aka Colonel Sanders, had retreated. KFC exists because Sanders – in the face of existential threat– came out swinging with opportunity as his ride or die partner.

The KFC Origin Story is a story of inspiring resilience, eternal optimism and, to quote the great philosopher, Billy Ocean, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

The Risktory Podcast is created, written, produced and hosted by Jacinthe A Galpin.
