We recently connected with Ryann Morris and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Ryann, great to have you with us today and excited to have you share your wisdom with our readers. Over the years, after speaking with countless do-ers, makers, builders, entrepreneurs, artists and more we’ve noticed that the ability to take risks is central to almost all stories of triumph and so we’re really interested in hearing about your journey with risk and how you developed your risk-taking ability.
All my life I’ve been the type of person to always play it safe, constantly scared of taking a risk for things to not play out in my favor. My outlook was ‘if you never take the chance, there’s not much to lose’. That was until I was faced with a once in a lifetime opportunity that I felt I couldn’t pass up. I was presented with the opportunity to participate in a reality TV love experiment with my partner of 7 years with this experience being a good distance away from everything I’ve ever know for a period of time. The show is called the Ultimatum on Netflix and the concept of the show is to “get marry or move on”. You choose another partner on the show to spend 3 weeks with and then another 3 weeks switched back to your original partner. I chose to take my high school sweet heart/partner of 7 years on this show not knowing how the outcome would turn out. I’ve always been deeply in love with my now husband (James) so going into it I did have faith in our relationship, but it is reality TV, you never know what they can throw at you. While it was probably the most difficult 6-weeks of my life and our relationship, we came out together in the end. Together we’ve been through so many trials and tribulations throughout our relationship, but somehow we always come out on top. Without me taking that risk, I would be no where close to where I am today. Since making that decision I’ve noticed I’ve been open to taking risks more often. It’s opened my world to new possibilities that I would’ve never dreamed of otherwise and for that I am thankful that I’ve taken those risks to try new things and trust my instincts.
