Ryan Leak is a motivational speaker, author, and filmmaker in addition to being an executive coach. He trains business executives and athletes how to overcome obstacles that stand in the way of their success in life and in the workplace. How to face failure was one of the most important lessons he learned in his life, and it shows in his work today.

Ryan started to redefine the way he talked to himself about the future and discovered that accepting failure took him further than chasing success. In this episode, he discusses how to deal with rejections, the art of giving up when it's necessary, as well as techniques to level up both your life and your profession.
