What It's About
A trekking tour company encounters an uncrossable border.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1560
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that we’re starting Failure Friday, a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong. The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned. I applaud their courage! I’ll share some of my failure stories along the way as well. Today’s short story features Mark Johnson, founder of Hobnail Trekking Co.. We told Hobnail’s story in Episode #677, Tennessean Meets Nepalese Sherpa on Lyft Ride, Sells Adventure Trips. Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
