[INTRO]

[0:00:32.8] RB: Hey there, and thank you so much for joining me. I have literally just tried to record this same intro episode like 20 times and every time I listen back, it just sounds so staged. So you know what? I’m just going to let it rip, we’re going to have a conversation, I’m going to do a little freestyle. I’m not going to read the script I wrote out and I’m just going to tell you a little bit about what I’m trying to achieve here with Fail On and what this podcast is all about.

Just to kind of break it down in simple terms, it’s like the main belief we have here is that if you’re not failing, you’re not growing. The whole idea with fail on is to have you embrace failure, embrace the fear of potential embarrassment and failure and don’t let it consume you and don’t get analysis paralysis where you’re just not doing anything. The whole idea is to actually get momentum, get activated, and get doing essentially anything, because as my good friend, Jayson Gaignard, who you’ll hear from next episode always says, “You can’t stir a parked car.”

On that note, we really believe that success is the byproduct of three key ingredients. Number one, like I said, it’s actually moving. It’s consistent trying. Secondly, it’s consistent failing, because it’s inevitable. Nobody has a perfect learning curve where you’re just going to straight up to success. Three, it’s consistent learning. It’s actually those failures and learning from them and then repeating the process a second time but actually doing better, because you’re taking those lessons that you’ve learned.

That’s really at the core what we’re here for, so if you are somebody that has a deep desire to grow personally, professionally, maybe you want to start a business, maybe you want to learn new skills, this applies massively, because one of my goals through this podcast is to actually provide you actionable advice and directives direct from guests and industry leaders, entrepreneurs that have already experienced these massive, massive failures before and turn them into super successes.

You’re going to learn lessons from these folks, apply them to your life, actually get off your freaking’ rear-end and go do something and you’re going to screw yourself up. That’s what fail on is, it’s going out and failing on.

We’re also going to have challenges to where you’ll have a challenge to go out...
