How 5 World-Class Performers Turned Failure into Success

#512 How 5 World-Class Performers Turned Failure into Success

-----

You’re not afraid of failure. You’re afraid people will see you fail. 

The good news? No one will remember.

Success doesn’t happen DESPITE failure. It comes BECAUSE of it. 

And the research proves it.

Success doesn’t come to the man who never fails. That man doesn’t exist. Success comes to the one who knows how to turn failure into fuel.

In this episode of “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man,” I dive deep into the role of failure in success and why it’s not just inevitable— it’s essential.

From Tom Hopkins’ bold take to Tim Ferriss’ reminder that failure only matters if you learn from it, I unpack powerful insights and research from the Kellogg School of Business and Harvard Business Review that prove failing fast and trying again is one of the greatest predictors of long-term success.

You’ll hear stories of world-class performers who turned their struggles into stepping stones: bestselling author Steven Pressfield battling decades of rejection before writing “The War of Art,” Olympic champion Helen Maroulis overcoming self-doubt to win gold, and blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer conquering Everest and the Grand Canyon. 

I even share my own business failure, what it cost me, and why it ultimately made me more qualified to succeed.

If you’ve been holding back because you’re afraid to fail, this episode will flip that fear on its head and show you how to leverage failure as your greatest advantage. Listen now!
