Yesterday I emailed about 44 people to see if I can interview them on failure. Less than 24 hours later I’ve got 16 interviews on the calendar over the next 3 months. I promise I’ll take you all along for the ride with me.

I got an email this weekend about someone sharing they have a story about failure and they still made a point to tell me it wasn’t a failure because they learned something. I think that misses the point... I say why in this video.

I’ve applied to 9 TEDx conferences, but now I’m doubling down on research around the dreaded F word! Today I emailed 40 people to try to get them on my calendar to talk about what they believe failure is and what process they embarked on after failure. If you want to be one of those interviewees send me a DM!

Do you have moments, days, weeks, or months when fear, self-doubt, and self-loathing creep in? I think it happens to the best of us. Just because my career is in coaching doesn’t mean I’m immune to those muddy, mucky, murky feelings. A gentle reminder that our feelings are never wrong and if we don’t acknowledge and honor them they do more damage in the shadow than they do in the light.

9 applications in total have been submitted as of 11 am today. I’m also talking about the importance of being clear on your end game and the impact you want to make in the world.

Have now applied to 7 TEDx conferences. Self-doubt creeping in, fear, and fear of failure creeping in. A big flashing sign that I’m moving deeper into purpose
