The Good FailLearning the Good FailToday we’re bringing you the final episode of the current series and taking a look back at some to the topics we’ve discussed over the last year, asking how we can put what we’ve learned into practice.
HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT THE GOOD FAIL NOW THAT WE’RE 3 SERIES IN?
We’ve discussed a wide range of topics over the last three series and in our current times The Good Fail feels like an important source to draw from.
HOW CAN THAT GOOD FAIL TOOL BOX HELP US WITH LIKE THE WORLD BASICALLY ENDING?
We’ve not alway...
2020-10-121h 08The Good FailFinding the Awesome WithinToday we want to ask whether our low self esteem is impacting on how well we can do the Good Fail? And what we can do to remind ourselves we're all awesome creations.
DOES LOW SELF ESTEEM EFFECT HOW WE DO THE GOOD FAIL?
Yes, self esteem does effect us doing the Good Fail.
HOW HAS LOW SELF ESTEEM EFFECTED US?
We definitely suffer from low self esteem and this has held us back from opportunities. There is an inner narrative that we will always fail that unconsciously shapes our reality.
SHALL WE INTRODUCE THE CONCEPT OF THE INNER CRITIC?
...
2020-10-0554 minThe Good FailThe Redemptive Power in FailureToday we're discussing how society has taught us to value the revenge narrative over the redemptive one and how that might effect us in doing the Good Fail.
HOW DID WE COME UP WITH THIS TOPIC FOR THE GOOD FAIL?
It all started with a discussion about the ending of a TV series.
WHAT WAS THIS DRAMA THEN?
Gold Digger. It was about a rich, older woman meeting and falling in love with a younger man. Much mystery surrounds the young mans past and his intentions.
THAT SOUNDS NICE BUT WHERE IS THIS LEADING?
By the end of the series...
2020-09-2800 minThe Good FailHow to Build ResilienceToday we're exploring who building resilience can help us feel more confident in our ability to cope with whatever life throws at us.
HOW DOES RESILIENCE DIFFER FROM PERSEVERANCE?
We reference Monty Python and Brene Brown as we discuss how much we need resilience in order to persevere but why relying on our resilience might not always be the best policy.
WHY IS RESILIENCE IMPORTANT TO THE GOOD FAIL?
It may be a cornerstone of doing the good fail but we haven’t really acknowledged its importance until now and we go on to talk about how impossible it wo...
2020-09-2100 minThe Good FailThe Secret to SuccessToday we're looking at the key role perseverance plays in doing the good fail and ask whether is is the real secret to success?
CAN WE DEFINE THAT FOR OUR LISTENERS?
We give our own personal definition of perseverance, something we know quite a bit about after 10 years of striving to make a sustainable career for ourselves in the arts.
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
As individuals free from any overwhelmingly demonstrable signs of success we feel undeniably qualified to give you the lowdown here and after discussing just how fundamental perseverance is to not failing we also...
2020-09-1400 minThe Good FailThe Rewards of FailureToday we're exploring the idea of rewards, as described by author Gretchen Rubin, and asking whether it can be applied to The Good Fail?
CAN WE CLARIFY WHY WE’LL BE TALKING ABOUT REWARDS IN THIS EPISODE?
We read a book: Better Then Before by Gretchen Rubin. The way she talked about rewarding good behaviour clearly related to doing The Good Fail in our eyes.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOU’RE GOING ON ABOUT HERE?
We think a lot of people view success as a reward for hard work…we know we do! Even as we explore ways of accepting failur...
2020-09-0700 minThe Good FailHow to Good Fail IRLToday we're delving into a recent personal experience in order to show you just how much the toolkit we've been putting together on this podcast can help us embrace failure.
SO, WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A REAL LIFE TALE OF THE GOOD FAIL IN ACTION.
At the beginning of March we travelled to the US to visit friends, right when Corona Virus chaos was ramping up in Europe and the States. In the wake of lockdown, the plan suffered!
HOW IS A STORY ABOUT OUR INTERRUPTED TRIP TO THE STATES RELEVANT TO OUR LISTENERS?
Our trip highlighted...
2020-08-3100 minThe Good FailThe Art of Letting GoFor the last episode of series two we’re honestly discussing our difficulty in understanding how the act of letting go can help us achieve what we truly desire.
We share two fails this week and one exciting joint success then dive right into our main topic, letting go.
It always seems like the biggest paradox to suggest letting go of the idea of getting what you most fervently want is the most powerful way of having it manifest in your life.
WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IT THEN?
Because it links to other episodes of The Good Fail where we...
2020-03-0200 minThe Good FailGreat ExpectationsToday we're exploring how our greatest expectations can lead to our deepest sense of failure and if it's possible to change that.
WHY ARE WE DEDICATING A WHOLE EPISODE TO THIS?
We didn’t think it could fill an entire episode at first but as we recorded season 1 & 2 of The Good Fail it kept coming up. In fact, we realised it was a big factor in how we felt about failure.
WHY SHOULD OUR EXPECTATIONS INFLUENCE OUR FEELINGS?
Our expectations are a big deal for us. Even a small event turning out not as expected can hamper our enjoyment of...
2020-02-2400 minThe Good FailPlan to Fail, Fail to PlanToday we are asking if making plans for the future is simply a way of ticking our life goals off a list? Or can it bring us a greater sense of meaning?
After discussing some major fails and some more minor successes we get strait to the point by asking how we make plans for the future? And the short answer is that we don’t plan that much because it hasn’t worked in the past but we are filled with a certainty that life would be easier if we had a plan.
HOW DO WE BREAK THE CYCL...
2020-02-1700 minThe Good FailCreatively Unthinking ItToday we are asking how we can generate new ideas when we’re in the grips of creative block or feeling stuck in out current life situation.
After quickly catching up with out joint fails and successes of the week we start by clarifying how idea generation can relate to our listeners. We’re all asked to think creatively at some point and sometimes the ideas just aren’t coming and you feel stuck.
DOES THAT FEEL LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW?
We’ve definitely been there/are there right now! Here are our experiences of feeling stuck, both artistically and in life...
2020-02-1000 minThe Good FailMental Health and The Good FailWe want to dedicate this episode to raising awareness of mental health and discuss how our mental health impacts on doing The Good Fail.
WHY?
Learning to do the good fail is about learning to develop a healthy mental attitude towards success and failure. While talking about the importance of having a resilient, compassionate and generous mindset we confess just how good we are at maintaining it.
HOW COME?
We open up about our mental health and how it continues to effect our attitude towards success as well as the impact it has had on our confidence...
2020-02-0300 minThe Good FailThe Power of PositivityToday we are being honest about our own failure to think positively and asking; If positive thinking is so simple, then why is it so hard?
After a quick catch-up with our fails and successes of the week we get stuck in by asking, can positive thinking really change your life? The answer from much of the research is that thinking positively has proven benefits BUT in our worst moments it can feel like just another thing we’ve failed at.
CAN WE BE HONEST HERE?
When we first planned this episode, we were actually done with positive thinking. We we...
2020-01-2700 minThe Good FailAll Good IntentionsIs it possible to set a new year resolution that won’t leave us feeling embarrassed, ashamed and like a total failure by the end of the year?
AND WHY IS SETTING NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS SUCH A BIG DEAL ANYWAY?
Because it’s a New Year new you right!? it's a chance to start with a clean slate and while we admit that we’re the first to brush off the dreaded “any New Year resolutions?” question with an eye roll and a flippant reply, we dig deeper into our secret hope that this year will be the year of big cha...
2020-01-2000 minThe Good FailThe Condition of HappinessThis week we want to debunk the myth that happiness should be earned through hard work and the attainment of perfection.
HOW DOES BEING HAPPY, AND PUTTING CONDITIONS ON WHEN WE’RE ALLOWED TO FEEL HAPPY, RELATE TO DOING THE GOOD FAIL?
As millennials we feel the pressure to be meeting certain milestones and to be our best selves ALL of the time. There’s no set path to follow, no clear advice to guarantee success and, in our experience, little tutors or mentors can say to help as the job landscape has changed so quickly since “their time”.
WHY IS IT SO...
2019-12-0900 minThe Good FailThe Generosity of GratitudeHow can we accept the journey we’re on, the struggles we face and how far we have to go while at the same time remaining generous and supportive of other’s happiness and success?
CAN WE UNPACK THAT FURTHER?
In other words we mean, how can we fight against the struggle not to feel incredibly jealous all the time? Particularly when it’s towards friends and family. We admit that this isn't an easy topic to talk about honestly but go on to point out our focus here is on finding a way to nurture our feelings of genero...
2019-12-0200 minThe Good FailThe Comparison TrapWe all do it. we all know we do it. But how can we stop ourselves from feeling inadequate when other’s lives appear so perfect?
We start by tackling that gnarly old problem of social media, establishing that it definitely has its benefits, like building community, or as a tool for promotion and inspiration etc, but that its one big drawback is how easily we can fall into the comparison trap.
WHY DO WE DO IT?
It’s natural to compare and is actually a fundamental skill required in decision making. As we discuss, it can spur...
2019-11-2500 minThe Good FailFinding Your TribeToday we want to talk about whether an important part of feeling better about failure is finding your tribe; people who can truly identify with your struggles and offer valuable insights.
WEEKLY UPDATE.
We quickly dive into how we’ve been failing and succeeding this week with a little story that perfectly sums up the Good Fail.
WHAT DO WE REALLY MEAN BY TRIBE?
We introduce the main topic by summarising our definition of “tribe” for the purposes of this episode. Your tribe is a group of people going through a similar experience as you at the same time.
SO ARE FR...
2019-11-1800 minThe Good FailKnow YourselfIf you ever feel like you’ve got a goal you want to reach, a place you want to be, a life you want to cultivate, but achieving it is like walking around in the dark and stabbing at things in the optimistic expectation of finding that exact thing that’s going to help you get there, then join the club. We haven’t got a clue but in this episode we’re discussing the one thing we do know a bit about that might make a big difference in, if not how quickly and successfully we reach our goals, at least...
2019-11-1100 minThe Good FailOwn Your CreativityToday we are discussing how owning your creativity can be the first step in doing the Good Fail.
WEEKLY UPDATE.
We quickly dive into how we’ve been failing and succeeding this week.
WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY OWNING YOUR CREATIVITY?
Giving ourselves permission to call ourselves *insert title here*. Whether that be artist or actor or director or designer, sometimes Imposter Syndrome can get in the way and we feel like we don’t have the right to give ourselves these titles. This can also apply to non-creative pursuits.
OUR PERSONAL STRUGGLE TO GIVE OURSELVES PERMISSION.
I’m writ...
2019-10-2800 minThe Good FailHow to Succeed at FailingTo begin episode two we introduce a regular segment to the show that celebrates the moments in our week when we’ve triumphed and when we’ve failed.
HOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT FAILING?
Starting to dig into the main topic of the show we discuss our current assumptions on success and failure, using the official definition from our tattered and frankly falling to pieces edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary as a launch pad into thoughts and musings about attaining fame, when a “favourable outcome” can refer to successfully putting a clothes wash on and how fail...
2019-10-2800 minThe Good FailIntroducing The Good FailThe Good Fail is a project that was born out of a pervasive feeling in both of us that we were failing to make our voices heard as creators. Now we want to radically recalibrate our ideas and attitudes surrounding failure.
WHAT IS THIS PODCAST ABOUT?
This podcast is about failure and questioning the “one size fits all” perspective of success. We want to change our understanding of what failure means to us and we want you join us.
WHY ARE WE MAKING THIS PODCAST?
Because is feels awful to fail but we spend so much of our lives failing and...
