About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of failure and its role in learning and personal growth with guests Jimmy Diresta and Bob Clagett.

Why do we fear FAILURE when it is the primary way we LEARN and IMPROVE? What is failure, and how do YOU define failure for yourself? Is it when something doesn't work out according to plan or is it when you give up all together? What are some of your biggest failures, and did they become learning moments? How is our self-confidence and ego wrapped up in all of this? Does failure make us feel ashamed and embarrased because we have a certain inflated idea of who we are? Do we emerge from failure more confident, emboldened, and more experienced? We tackle this VERY difficult but illuminating topics with the help of two of the finest, most thoughtful, and most experienced makers in our field, Jimmy Diresta and Bob Clagett.
