Welcome to a new month! In today’s segment, we’re going to hear from the co-founder of Dancakes, the world’s first pancake art company. We profiled Dancakes for Episode 500 (!) and they’re back today with a strong disaster story. 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. 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! Let’s hear from Hank about a big disaster in Bangkok, Thailand… I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
