Notes from Chris
Episode 2085
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 I offer you a weekly segment called 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. Today’s short story features Gerald from the midwest. He wants to remain anonymous beyond that short description—you’ll understand why when you hear the story! This is a fun one. Perhaps I’ll dedicate it to everyone out there who’s working on something of their own during company time. Listen to today's episode to learn more...SEE ALSO:
