Todd Carnes inspires members at August Breakfast Meeting

The word risk very often carries with it a negative connotation. Thoughts of danger, injury and failure may creep into your brain. It can be defined as "the possibility that something bad or unpleasant will happen."


But the message delivered by Todd Carnes Tuesday morning at the GLC&VC's August breakfast zeroed in on risk, and it was anything but negative.

"It's the driver of all innovation. It's the driver of progress. It's the driver of expansion," said Carnes.
