We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexsius Blanks and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alexsius, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I think about risk in a way of levels or walls blocking where I would like to be , if I really would like to be where I am destined to I have to knocked down this challenge or wall . Risk taking is a minor as a full time mom and and entrepreneur . Risk to try new ways to find balance within my role As a mother and not giving up on my dreams ! One risk I have taken is working with my children, with the pandemic at hand and many other challenges . Arisk that will help me learn patients and value .
