The only people who don’t fail are people who don’t try anything outside of their comfort zones, which is no way to grow.
So a certain amount of failure is not only okay, it’s desirable. But have we reached a point where we are now over-glorifying failure?
The Lede hosts Jerod Morris and Demian Farnworth dive deep and discuss.
And in case you’re wondering where the idea for this episode came from … just look back one week in the archive.
In the last episode of The Lede, James Altucher used a term that made both Demian and Jerod do a double take: “failure porn.”
They couldn’t stop talking about it after the interview with James ended, so they hit Record and turned the discussion into an episode.
In this episode of The Lede, Jerod Morris and Demian Farnworth discuss:
- Remembering a classic Michael Jordan commercial about failure
- Why James Altucher’s phrase “failure porn” gave Demian an epiphany
- Do we use the word “failure” to say something we don’t really mean?
- The difference between celebrating failure and learning from it
- When we should consider failure to not be an option
- Why Jerod views a Copyblogger post series and even his most successful personal blog project as a failure in hindsight
- How being too accepting of failure can actually be disempowering
- Does the fear of failure numb creativity?
- Should we fear failure? Should it leave a scar?
- Why do silver medalists so often come back and win Olympic gold?
- The importance of defining what, specifically, constitutes failure and success in any given activity
- How failure relates to mastery
- How to apply the “24-hour rule” to success and failure
