Failure

Failure is a part of being human. But the surprising thing is that failure is also necessary for success. It seems counter-intuitive, but as you’ll hear on this episode of the Relate podcast, you can’t have one without the other. You’ll hear the story of a man who had basically failed at everything. He was homeless. He was an alcoholic. He had no future. But somehow, he was able to turn a single dime into a business empire. There’s also a piece about a serious case of writer’s block. It’s about how an author’s failure to finish a book led to his most successful work. And you’ll get some useful tips from performance psychologist Mark Aoyagi on how to take those crash-and-burn experiences and turn them into stepping stones to success.
