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
