Learning To Fail
by Jason ScholderHi there, welcome, and thank you for tuning in. My name is Jason Scholder and this is "Learning To Fail." Everyone Has Stories They Like to Tell. These Are the Stories They Haven't Told. Each week I interview people who matter... or at least people who matter to me. Some of them are friends, others are teachers, and a lot of them are comedians. I never know where these stories are going to take us, but it's usually somewhere amazing. As this podcast continues to fail, I mean grow, I hope to interview some of the world’s top comics, thinkers and visionaries. I love Learning to Fail and I hope you’ll enjoy listening to these conversations as much as I enjoy having them.
