I covered a fascinating FrenchFounders event on September 23, 2025, at Loft Orbital in San Francisco with paragliding champion Thomas de Dorlodot and wealth managers from The Forum Finance Group.
De Dorlodot, a world class paraglider with over 15 years of experience, multiple records, and sponsorships from Red Bull and Volkswagen, shared stories from his career including how he once broke his back, severed a finger, and nearly lost a leg during training.
The discussion highlighted how mastering risk, whether in extreme sports or financial markets, can ultimately shape success.
