Failures of Success is a podcast about the stories we rarely hear, the missteps, detours, and quiet struggles behind every polished success story. Hosted by Shivam Dhruva, an engineer and programmer with over 15 years of experience, this podcast shifts the spotlight away from wins and milestones and onto the failures that shape who we become. Through candid conversations with founders, engineers, creators, and professionals from diverse backgrounds, each episode explores what went wrong, what changed, and what those moments taught them. Some guests set out to be founders and became engineers. Some failed publicly. Some failed quietly. All of them learned something that success alone could never teach. This podcast isn’t about glorifying failure, it’s about understanding it. The thinking behind success. The resilience built along the way. And the lessons that usually stay behind the scenes. If you’re tired of highlight reels and want something more real, Failures of Success is for you.
