#19 - Why I'm Teaching My Kids to Fail

So they can learn to succeed

I want my kids to fail.

Making mistakes, experiencing defeat - these are things I want them to embrace. To go head first into.

Life is a series of challenges. You will encounter setbacks.

If you’re too afraid to take risk and try something new, you will end up stuck doing the same things in your comfort bubble until you die.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How failing is a thing to be desired

  • The difference between a Growth Mindset and a Fixed Mindset

  • Why effort should be celebrated

  • That I’m a terrible singer

  • To embrace the beginner’s mindset
