About this listen

Griffin Rowe examines why humanity remembers catastrophic failures more vividly than quiet successes, exploring disasters from the Titanic and Challenger to Enron and Chernobyl. He reveals how epic failures expose systemic flaws that success masks, force institutional transformation, and teach lessons that triumph never could. Through analyzing maritime disasters, space shuttle explosions, corporate collapses, and nuclear accidents, Griffin demonstrates that spectacular failures fundamentally rewrite the rules for everything that follows. He explores the psychology behind why these disasters capture our attention, how they reveal gaps between ambition and capability, and why societies transformed by ruin often become more resilient than those sustained by uninterrupted success. The episode shows that epic failures aren't the opposite of achievement—they're often the necessary foundation for genuine progress.
