About this listen

Every entrepreneur expects to fail at some point — it’s part of the process. But what happens when you fail big? Flops uncovers how outrageous failure can spark learning, inspire bold new ideas, lead to surprising redemptions, and offer a chance to build something better. Join hosts Karen Beattie and Ray Sylvester as they talk to ambitious entrepreneurs about the failures — and rebounds — that shaped them into who they are today.

    The Museum of Failure
    May 19 2021

    #008 Disclaimer: the interview in this episode contains some explicit language.

    Back when we were doing the research for the show, we stumbled on something pertinent . . . The Museum of Failure. It's a touring exhibit that touts a collection of (you guessed it) failed products. And the stories behind these failures are absolutely fascinating. Well, today's guest is none other than the director of the Museum of Failure himself, Dr. Samuel West! What follows is an in-depth interview with Dr. Samuel West on everything from his selection criteria for the museum, the deeply human side of failed products, the time Procter & Gamble tried to rebrand diarrhea, and (sorry, Pat) why the DeLorean has its place firmly in the museum.

    The Rocket to Nowhere

    #007 Growing up, many of us are encouraged to follow our passion in the hopes of finding a career or life path that we will love. But what happens when passion isn't enough? 


    Sasha Korobov spent years working for NASA and left to move to England to get her masters degree. After the 2016 U.S. election, she was inspired to fight for causes bigger than herself, and after a late night revelation, decided to build a business to help others do the same. She quickly built a business geared towards helping activists find and lobby for causes they were enthusiastic about. 


    But enthusiasm soon gave way to struggle. 


    This episode is full of struggle, reckoning, and great advice. Do yourself a favor and grab a pen and paper because you're going to want to remember the secrets of the NASA nerds. Show notes and more at smartpassiveincome.com/flops.
