In this thought-provoking episode of "FAILING UP," hosts David Huffaker, Bethany Vooys, and Phil Kingsley are joined by a special guest, Gaurav Gambhir, a successful immigrant entrepreneur from TCS New Jersey. Together, they explore the profound impact of mindset on how we define and navigate failures. Gaurav shares his remarkable journey of immigrating to a new country and diving headfirst into the real estate business. For him, failure isn't a destination but a mindset. He firmly believes that true failure only occurs when you stop striving to give your best and decide to throw in the towel. David opens up about a personal revelation: the spark of anger that ignites when he's on the verge of giving up. He's learning to recognize this moment and, importantly, how to impart this invaluable lesson to his children – the lesson that quitting should never be the only option. Gaurav emphasizes the role of family as the biggest motivator for many people. While kids may not always grasp the concept of resilience through words, they can experience it. He shares a heartwarming story of how his daughter's support during a grueling half-marathon training session became a powerful reminder that failure is not an option when it's witnessed by loved ones. Phil chimes in, highlighting the fundamental nature of mindset in how we perceive failure. Just like happiness, it's a choice we make, and the way we choose to view setbacks can significantly impact our journey toward success. As the episode concludes, Gaurav leaves listeners with a powerful statement about his immigrant experience: "I speak with an accent, but I don't think with an accent." His story serves as a testament to the incredible resilience and determination of individuals who pursue their dreams in a new land, regardless of the challenges they face. Tune in to this episode of "FAILING UP" for a captivating discussion on how the way we approach failure and mindset can shape our path to success, and how the support of loved ones can be a game-changer in our journeys.
