In this episode of The Jeweler's View, Courtney Gray emphasizes the importance of viewing mistakes not as failures, but as opportunities for growth and innovation. Drawing from her experience as a metalsmith and stories from various industries, including the invention of WD-40, Post-it notes, and the light bulb, she illustrates how 'happy accidents' can lead to incredible breakthroughs. Gray shares personal anecdotes and challenges listeners to reframe their approach to mistakes, encouraging them to see these moments as stepping stones to success. She invites listeners to embrace their creative journey, learn from every misstep, and transform what might seem like setbacks into unique, defining elements of their work.
