About this listen
In this episode, I'm cutting through the BS about failure and showing you how it actually works as a recalibration tool. I dive into what Stoic philosophers understood about failure. I connect these insights with Erikson's developmental psychology, breaking down how failure functions differently in your 20s-30s versus midlife and beyond. From relationship flameouts to career faceplants, I'll show you how people like Lincoln, Rowling, and Jordan used failure not as a stop sign but as a calibration mechanism.
You'll get practical steps to approach failure like a scientist would—as valuable data points rather than judgments. Skip the inspirational BS and get straight to the useful truth: failure isn't the opposite of success but the mechanism that makes it possible in the first place.
