When it comes to entrepreneurship, failure can often be more important than winning.

So many of the greatest success stories start with failure because it's what we learn from those failures that ultimately leads us to the success that we seek.

Today's guest describes himself as "an expert at failure".

Sean Markey started his career as a special education teacher and spent the better part of a decade bouncing between jobs and going into debt, all the while trying to find a way to earn a living online.

Despite several high-profile failures, Sean managed to hone his skills at SEO and started creating and building websites that earn affiliate income.

He recently sold one of those websites for what he described as "life-changing money".

Sean joins us this week to discuss some of his greatest failures, how he was able to learn the skills that ultimately led to his success, and why failure itself is such an important part of the entrepreneurial journey.
