In today's episode, I share what my first literary failure taught me.

Failure as a Teacher

Black Sweater Talk is where real stories meet relentless growth. I’m Marcus Lopés—a writer, storyteller, and creative who believes in doing the work, becoming who the journey demands, and telling the truth even when it hurts. Here, we talk about the work (showing up when it’s hard), the becoming (finding purpose through struggle), and the truth (owning your story without apology). You’ll find short motivational stories about resilience, self-discovery, and transformation—no fluff, hype, or clichés. Because change isn’t easy—but it’s also where freedom begins. If you’re rebuilding, redefining yourself, or learning to trust your voice again—you’re not alone. Subscribe to Black Sweater Talk and join a community that’s not chasing perfection, but becoming who they were meant to be. Because we’re not done yet—our greatest stories are still being written. <a href="https://marcuslopes.ca" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">marcuslopes.ca</a>
