Fail It Till You Nail It When Dating! With "Failure Guy" Ben Currier


Listen Later

This week's topic is finding the key to unbreakable confidence. You must put yourself out there– when looking for love, you can fake it until you make it or fail it to nail it! We all have failures of epic proportions and go through several failed relationships, which are inevitable, but they can also provide valuable opportunities. Today's guest is Ben Currier, the World’s #1 Biggest Failure and host of the podcast The Failure Guy. Ben was fired repeatedly and couldn’t figure out why he wasn't succeeding. He'll share why failure has many benefits, like getting honest with yourself and improving self-awareness. Failing inspires creativity and encourages innovative solutions to problems. And why we can quickly turn it around and go in another direction because we all have a get out of fail free card. 

Self-proclaimed World's #1 Failure Ben Currier hosts the ironically successful “Failure Guy” podcast. His podcast currently has a global reach: that Spotify-owned Chartable ranks higher than 99.8% of all Podcasts. Ben spent 15 years in corporate America, financially forecasting billions of dollars across multiple industries. He is an Excel guru, 4-time Microsoft MVP Award Winner, and creator of one of the six Best Online Excel Classes per Investopedia. His Excel training has over 25 million minutes of listening time, and he’s helped millions with his online Excel training. 

Despite these successes, Ben has been fired from every jobhe’s had. This has inspired him to investigate failure while working hard to turn his setbacks into success. He inspires others across the country through his hit podcast, public speaking engagements and has interviewed many big names, such as Carole Baskin, and William Hung, to name a few.

Ben shares his incredible journey and what he's learned in the process so we can find our unbreakable inner confidence in our abilities when dating.

Ben Currier the World’s #1 Failure and Kerry Brett the World’s #2 Failure cover a lot of ground discussing how failures led both of us to success in both dating and life. Topics include;
Why people hold themselves back because of the fear of failure and how to overcome.
How to use clothing to raise your confidence.
Why you should take a chance to stand out in online dating.
Why you should be weirder than you are.
Take risks in texts and stop trying to be like everyone else.
Remember to remind yourself that no one is perfect and that everyone is flawed.
Why having low expectations is helpful while hoping for the best outcomes.
Dating is a percentage game, the more dates you go on–the more comfortable you’ll get and the higher the chance you’ll have of succeeding.
Don’t be afraid to fail! Do at least one thing on a date outside of your comfort because that’s where the magic happens.
Fake it until you make it or Fail it until you nail either way will work. And remember action creates reaction.
