Failure isn’t final—it’s feedback. In this episode, George Rogers and Gary Brackett explore what it truly means to face setbacks, not as endings, but as turning points. Sometimes the answer isn’t moving on—it’s moving through.

Together, they unpack the mental, emotional, and leadership challenges that follow failure, sharing personal stories from business, life, and the NFL. You’ll walk away with practical frameworks like the 3Rs (Reflect, Reframe, Re-engage) and the 4Rs of Forward Progress to help you reframe failure, reshape your inner dialogue, and lead others with resilience.

💡 Key Takeaways:

Failure is not the opposite of success—it’s part of it.

Your inner voice can keep you stuck or fuel your comeback.

Leaders who model recovery create cultures of innovation.

Sometimes quitting isn’t failure—staying stuck is.
