Join us in this episode of "Do You Even Fail?" as we dive into the philosophy of micro failures with our guest, Jennifer. She believes life's about the little letdowns, and how we face them—do they happen to us, or for us? It's your call. We all encounter major mishaps. We're human, we're imperfect, and so is the world. But here's the question: Do you embrace these epic disruptors, or do you let them overwhelm you? It's a classic debate—victim mindset versus opportunity mindset. Jennifer and I also spar over how we perceive failure: Should we see it simply as a lesson, or confront it as our own fault? Plus, Jennifer shares her personal story of being fired, a failure that turned out to be a blessing in disguise, though not without its own tough lessons. Tune in to explore why our work friends aren't necessarily "our people" and why calling our workplace our family might not be the best idea. Remember, you're not as alone as you think after a fall. Let's unpack what success and failure really mean and find solidarity in our shared struggles.

We're chatting about loving the grind but maybe loving it too much, to the point where family time starts feeling like a distant memory.

Don's got stories too – like that time he totally flubbed things with his first mentor by lying, and how his second mentor just didn't get it.

But it's not all about the mess-ups; it's about the lessons. Why do we lie or cut corners? Sometimes, it's easier than facing the shame of failing, especially in business where it feels like you've got to be perfect 24/7. Spoiler alert: you don't.
