Episode 56. Failing Not Failure
This episode is straight up inspired by the Olympic Trials. There is far more "failing" going on than "succeeding" at the Olympic Trials if we are narrowly defining failing. Well, this episode is about blowing up narrow definitions. Because this is what you need to know... if you are setting big goals, taking on great challenges, chasing after extraordinary achievements.... you are going to come up short from time to time... you are going to stumble... you are going to fail. That does not make you are a failure. It makes you a badass.

Are you fired up? I'm fired up! Because this is a great episode and we even get a Mindset Minute with the always extraordinary coach tammie bennett of the Show Up Society.

Cheers,
Coach Bennett
