In this episode, Dan and Tracey talk about the mindset of perceiving failure as the final destination. They believe that failure instead is just part of a learning process that can lead towards gaining the results you desire.  

Here is a taste of what Dan and Tracey cover in the conversation

Tracey gives an example of Thomas Edison and quotes him, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Tracey states when a leader has a mindset in believing failure is learning, it can facilitate innovation, where experimentation acts as the means to achieve the end. Dan believes in reprogramming oneself so that you don’t think about failure, instead learning to focus on new ideas, innovation and experimentation.
