About this listen
In this raw and unfiltered episode of Making Business Personal, Jason Weiss does something few successful leaders ever do – he exposes one of his biggest professional failures. As one of the youngest college presidents in the country, Jason made a leadership decision that cost him trust, credibility, and forced him to confront his own ego. But that mistake transformed his entire approach to leadership.
This isn't your typical "fail forward" pep talk. Jason backs up his personal story with surprising research showing that while 94% of executives claim vulnerability matters, only 12% actually practice it publicly. The data is clear: leaders who admit mistakes score in the 91st percentile for effectiveness.
Jason challenges listeners to join the #OwnTheMistake movement by sharing their own transformative failures – not as performance, but as practice in authentic leadership. In just 8 minutes, this episode might change how you view professional vulnerability forever.
