What if failure was the key to learning faster and achieving greater success?

In this episode of Unlock Your Potential, I sit down with Dr. Manu Kapur to explore the science of productive failure—a research-backed approach that leads to deeper learning and better results.

We dive into:

✅ Why failing first leads to twice the learning of traditional methods

✅ How to design failure as a tool for success

✅ The performance vs. learning zone—and why most people get it wrong

✅ How to apply this mindset in business, relationships, and personal growth
