532. The Courage to Look Foolish

Brian Gubernick explores a powerful truth: the people we call brilliant tomorrow often look like fools today. From James Dyson’s 5,000+ failed prototypes to Kara Goldin launching Hint when no one wanted unsweetened water, and even Brene Brown risking her career to talk vulnerability—true innovation requires the willingness to look wrong before getting it right.

Brian challenges you to examine where fear of embarrassment might be holding you back. He shares personal stories and actionable steps to help you reframe failure, foster a culture of experimentation, and lean into the discomfort of being early.

This episode is your reminder: looking foolish isn’t failure—it might just mean you’re ahead of the curve. --
