Yes, a podcast about failure.
Think about it -- it's one of the things we all have in common. We all fail. Maybe it's a math test, maybe it's a tray of broken dishes, maybe it's a project gone awry or a wrong move in a relationship. The failures may be unique, but failure is not. Still, while it happens to us all, our failures are something we are loathe to discuss. We squirrel them away in the deepest parts of ourselves. On social media, at work, in public, we try to project an image that we are perfect. But we love to hear how other people failed. And a good redemption story is the stuff of Hollywood and best seller lists.
So welcome to failing better -- a place where successful people share moments of failure, the lessons they learned from them, and how they overcame them.
What's the point? I'm glad you asked. In a world that is crying out for connection, we're often afraid to approach each other because we see the perfect in others and only the broken in ourselves. By talking about failure we're hoping to break down some of the walls and open up opportunities for connection and understanding.
So yes, it's about failure, but it's really about resilience, encouragement and connection.
We hope you'll listen, ask questions, and maybe even share your own stories of failure and resilience. And we hope these stories help you to be braver, and kinder to yourself and others.
Keep failing. It's proof that you're trying.
