In this episode of Risky Business, host Bryan Hattingh and co-host Jonathan Shaw address the daunting economic realities of 2026, from skyrocketing fuel prices and "scam" inflation to the pervasive anxiety of a world seemingly on the brink of conflict. Rather than focusing solely on the "yucky" circumstances, Hattingh advocates for a "thrival" mindset, encouraging listeners to trade superficial entertainment for deep human connection and communal generosity. The duo explores practical ways to navigate stress, such as returning to shared board games, working from home to offset costs, and utilizing lifelong learning as a therapeutic focus. Ultimately, the episode serves as a call to look beyond the "clouds" of the current moment and choose authentic joy through servitude and right thinking.
