#002 Colin Clapp and his partner, Elly, own a website and business called Parenting, Passports and Profits — it's all about helping parents and digital nomads live life by design. But it wasn't the first stab at business for Colin. In fact, years ago, Colin found himself at the helm of a business failure concerning fruit and vegetable delivery. It all started with a partnership with a stranger; he's here today to tell that story.

In today's episode, host Karen Beattie chats one-on-one with Colin as he reveals the buildup to what he calls "the darkest day," its aftermath, and what he learned from the flop. As Colin himself says, failing in business doesn't "mark you" as a failure — it's part of the process. We're so thankful to Colin for being generous with his time and getting vulnerable for us behind the mic so that we can learn from his misadventure.
