How do you feel about setbacks? And how do you define success?
In this latest solo episode, we’re delving into a universal experience—failure.

Taking risks and respecting the effort, no matter the result
Acknowledging the possibility of failure to minimise its impact
Recognising how failure and success can coexist
Staying flexible and allowing for adaptation
I also mentioned two helpful podcast episodes:
