    5000 fails later - what toddlers know that we forgot

    We’ve learned to fear failure—but what if the real secret to success is getting really good at it? In this episode of Flipstart Thinking, Dave shares an unexpected source of wisdom: his 1-year-old grandson, Leo, taking his first wobbly steps. Toddlers fall up to 5,000 times while learning to walk—and they never give up. Why? What if we could take their strategy and use it elsewhere as a grown up? This episode reveals the 3 toddler-tested strategies you need to succeed at failing, and how your environment silently shapes your potential. If you've got a big idea, a bold dream, or a skill you're struggling to master—this perspective flip will change the way you move forward.
