"When you're going through Hell, keep going." This is a podcast about failure and how it breeds success. Every week we will talk to amazing people who have done amazing things yet, at some point, experienced a failure. By exploring their experiences we can learn how to build, succeed, and stay humble.

What happens when you hitched your wagon to the wrong dream?
In this episode, we talked to Joe McReynolds, a former politico who backed Hilary Clinton in the last election and found himself adrift after she lost. He decided to head to Japan and try something entirely new, resulting in a book about urbanism in Tokyo. It's a fascinating look at someone who had to do a full 180 when a dream didn't come true.

Dr. Eleanor Janega on second chances
Dr Eleanor Janega always wanted to be a historian but she discovered that her particular interests and skill set didn't make her a great candidate for academia. After a bit of soul searching, however, she discovered that history didn't have to reside in an ivory tower and instead could be shared with the world. She's now the author of multiple books including The Once and Future Sex: Going Medieval on Women's Roles in Society. Check out her book and her work online.

John Biggs talks about depression
A few years ago I was clinically depressed. In this podcast I share what happened, how I felt, and how I tried to fix it. It's only fair for me to do one of these if all my guests are coming on and being vulnerable so I decided to record this show before the New Year. If you’re suicidal, WhatsApp me at +16468270591 or call the Suicide Prevention Hotline at +1800-273-8255 or, if you’re not in the States, visit this site.
Please take care of yourself. Please keep going.
