Being part of IH and listening to the IH podcast is a strange experience. It's massively inspirational BUT also anxiety inducing. "If they can do it, why haven't I".
The podcast and the structure of the community has a bias towards success stories.
That got me thinking... should we focus more on failures?
I don't know how we could do this. Because a podcast about someone who has failed doesn't particularly offer much insight... (this only comes once success has arrived AFTER failure).
Nor do milestones of failure help much because, everything is a fail until it succeeds.
But still... there's something about listening to other's failures which is sobering, grounding, and makes you feel like you are not alone.
Is there a space for focusing on failures? It's worth considering at least I think...
If nothing else, at least it would help keep a proper perspective for folks.
Failory.
