"Learn from your mistakes!" It's the one piece of advice we've all been given. But what if it's a lie? What if obsessing over your failures is the very thing sabotaging your success?

In this episode, we're tearing down the biggest myth in self-improvement. We'll unpack the shocking science that shows how an initial failure, even a random one, can tank your performance by threatening your self-esteem. You'll discover the hidden truth about learning: beginners thrive on positive reinforcement from their wins, while only experts can truly handle harsh critical feedback.

We're making the controversial case that learning from success is often a faster, clearer, and more powerful path to growth than picking apart your demoralizing mistakes. It's time to challenge your entire growth mindset.

Stick with us to the very end for a simple two-part framework that will tell you exactly when you should dissect a failure versus when you should double down on a success.

It's time to unlearn how you learn. Subscribe, share this with anyone who's ever been told to 'fail forward', and let's build a smarter path to success, together.
