Episode notes

I like to talk about failure because I think it's great, failure is learning. Can you point to a single project that embodies failure from beginning to end? For me, points of failure are times on the team where I can't even get to, did I manage the project? Well, was the design good? I can'tEven get to that point because I have this kind of weird disconnect with one of the team members.

Dan Brown inspires us to get great at asking questions because 'the question' is one of our most invincible resources. He reminds us to maintain a spirit of collaboration with the the team members we’re struggling with since they care as much about the project as we do. He encourages us to always peer beneath the surface at the underlying structure of whatever we’re working on. He also motivates us to never settle.
