Ever felt like failure is a taboo topic in your professional life? Carolyn and Joshua McMahon are tearing down those walls by sharing heartfelt personal stories and powerful insights on why embracing failure is crucial for growth. We dive into the cultural resistance in America towards acknowledging failures and discuss how a simple shift in mindset can transform our approach to challenges. Joshua opens up about a candid interview where he laid bare his ongoing struggles and the importance of having a team that takes ownership. Plus, hear about an employee who missed a golden opportunity for self-reflection, underscoring the need for self-awareness and resilience in our careers.
Think optimism is enough? Think again! This episode introduces you to the concept of being a "possibilitist," a term coined by John Maxwell, that takes optimism a step further by actively seeking out possibilities. Carolyn and Joshua recount how this mindset led them to make bold moves like buying a beach house and tackling complex real estate deals with a "figureoutable" attitude. With a mix of humor and inspiring anecdotes, they underscore the importance of maintaining a sense of fun at work, turning even the toughest jobs into rewarding experiences. Whether you're facing challenges in your career or personal life, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom and encouragement.
