In this episode of The Rich Bish Era, I am sharing a very embodied around of wisdom for me after 13 years of a LOT of experience in these areas. They are rarely taught but essential (and inevitable) for long-term growth: failure, rejection, and a clear, unwavering vision.

Drawing inspiration from a recent industry panel I attended and my own business experience, this conversation dives into why many people are taught how to succeed - but not how to fail - and how this gap often leads to hesitation, self-doubt, and stalled momentum.

Throughout the episode, I cover:

• Why failure is a necessary part of mastery and growth
• The importance of practicing progress rather than rehearsing perfection
• How emotional assumptions can distort rejection
• Why follow-up and persistence are leadership skills
• The role of belief and long-term vision in overcoming obstacles

This episode is for anyone building a business, career, or personal vision who wants to develop resilience, clarity, and forward momentum. Tune in now!
