About this listen

 In this episode of "Keep Going with Drew Funk", Drew shares his personal experience of a failed startup and how it influenced his career path. He explains the story of premature enthusiasm and eventual failure when he tried to establish a tech startup right after his MBA. Reflecting back on these experiences, Drew identifies three significant learnings: understanding market needs, building a diverse team for varied ideas, and the importance of resilience in the face of failure. He encourages listeners to embrace failure and extract learnable lessons from it, rather than fearing it. Drawing parallels to successful individuals and their failures, he emphasizes that the response to failure defines subsequent outcomes. The episode ends with a challenge for listeners to reflect on their recent failures and try to determine what they can learn from them.
