Some people see failure as a negative or as a deficit. The truth is, failure is the fastest way to learn, expand, and grow. It’s a really simple concept that's really hard to do.
“Failed it” is a series of episodes dedicated to celebrating one thing. Failure. I believe the highest levels of growth, expansion, and freedom come as a result of failure. They’re all waiting on the other side of fear.
I created failed it, from conversations with all of my guests this season. They were asked to recall a failure they experienced in the past, what they learned from it, and how they grew and expanded as a result.
My hope is that you will learn from their failures and go out and make even better mistakes. Get out there and fail today!
