The Failure Guy podcast

Success comes not to the first ones off the line, or the fastest starters, but to those who Keep Running and Never Quit. FAILURE = First Attempts In Learning Using Real Experience. Each week, we have conversations with people from all walks of life about their experiences and their most significant failure: what they learned from it, how they overcame it and how that has informed their success to this day. Maybe you can't learn from the mistakes of others, but you CAN learn from their FAILURE...

    Stan Morse Interview

    Stan Morse has been many things in his life, so far - prodigy student, gifted basketball player with NBA potential, husband, father, successful real estate investor... and adulterer, target of federal investigations and crack addict for over a decade. In many ways, Stan is the model guest of "The Failure Guy" podcast: from the soaring highs and crashing lows, he has risen like a phoenix from the flames of disaster to become a community leader, an advocate for under-served communities and a champion of the oppressed and exploited. Co-founder of 1NYCHA Advocates and a former candidate for Queens borough president, Stan is the author of the recently published book "God's Grace: One Man's Remarkable Path to Find His Purpose".

    Aidan Sowa Interview

    At only 25, Aidan Sowa is the youngest guest so far on Season 2 of "The Failure Guy" podcast. Yet in this brief time, he has interned with the MIT Enterprise Forum Cambridge to launching a lead generation startup, and then pivoting during the COVID shutdown into a public relations firm that works to get his clients featured in publications and news outlets like Forbes, MSNBC, and Authority Magazine. Aidan emphasizes the importance of having a strong online presence, including social media profiles and a professional website. He also notes how getting featured in reputable outlets can help boost your visibility online.  Most critically, he stresses the importance of building credibility as an entrepreneur or business owner and how third-party validation like getting featured in reputable media outlets can help establish trust with potential clients. Don't let his age fool you - Aidan has learned a lot in only a quarter century 'round the sun, and shares his experiences with self-doubt and how he overcame early negotiation failures and near bankruptcy to become a successful entrepreneur.  If you're an entrepreneur or business owner, or just looking to establish credibility and get featured in reputable media outlets, this conversation is definitely worth listening to.

    Liz Dreyer Interview

    This episode is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of creativity and social justice. Liz shares her insights and experience with adaptive leadership and systems thinking, as well as her artistic pursuits and how they relate to her work in DEI.  From her decades of experience, Liz shares how most DEI trainings tend to focus on shaming individuals rather than promoting genuine inclusivity. In our conversation she reveals how the combination of her experiences and expertise connect an artistic mindset, adaptive leadership training and systems thinking, helping to move beyond quotas and "window dressing" to create just organizations, which ultimately lead to a more just society.  It's a heady ride, but one you'll be glad to be part of. Get ready to challenge your own status quo, and be left viewing things in a brand new light...

    Stephen Keegan Interview

    Regular listeners know how much I value those in the teaching profession: they're doing "God's work", IMHO. In this episode, I get to have an amazing conversation with Stephen Keegan, who has been a special-Ed teacher for over a decade and a half. And this is a late-stage career for him. In this engaging episode, Stephen discusses the family influences and work experiences that inspired him to pursue this profession in general, and to serve the neuro-divergent population in particular. One of 12 siblings, a husband and father, Stephen is a fascinating guest and an amazing human being. We discuss the importance and value of education to every community and culture, the importance of acknowledging failure as part of the process, and the rewards found in being of service in a way that will outlive you. Join us in this most insightful episode -- you'll definitely learn a thing or two.

    Ivan Castro Interview

    Ivan Castro has faced many challenges in his life, many of them hidden and internal. Struggling in his early years with undiagnosed ADHD, like many he was considered substandard and incapable of learning "like the others". Emigrating to the United States, he encountered therapy and discovered that the issue was not that he couldn't learn, but simply that he learned differently. This inspired him to delve deeper into himself and the way the mind works in general and, perhaps more importantly, gave him a deep compassion for the neurodivergent and differently abled among us who are not broken or infereior, but merely marginalized and misunderstood. Now he is a deeply motivated paraprofessional, podcaster and community builder, with a focus on providing guidance and assistance to newly arrived immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries, and particularly devoted to bringing the message of transformation and self-acceptance to men seeking to move beyond the restrictive roles of outmoded toxic masculinity. Join Ivan and I on a most powerfully enlightening conversation, and follow him on his podcast at https://anchor.fm/s/c0b26b8/podcast/rss

    Joanna Tress Interview

    Joanna Tress was almost my first Season TWO guest of "The Failure Guy" (not Season One, as I mistakenly say during the recording) but I failed to capture her audio. That turned out to be a fortunate mistake, since this conversation turned out to be richer and more insightful than the one we attempted almost four months ago. Joanna is a singer, dancer, actor, creator and multi-talented artist in many disciplines. She is also combining her decade of experience in the field of employee retention with her unique approach to guiding and mentoring individuals in creative expression to develop a consultancy aimed at creating programs that not only create more relaxed, enjoyable work environments, but actually train employers to recognize and encourage the full spectrum of creative expression within their staff. Everyone is a naturally born creator. Joanna believes that this innate capacity not only never truly goes away, but is essential for each of us to live happier, fuller lives, but for all of us to realize a world in which every aspect of our lives is not merely balanced, but integrated and harmonized into an experience where we can pursue a trade or profession in a way that leaves us enriched and fulfilled at the end of each day, instead of deflated and defeated. If you think "do what you love" or "love what you do" are ideas completely at odds with "working for a living", I believe you may change your mind after listening to this powerful conversation.

    Kahshanna Evans Interview

    "A to Eff to B - From Wounds to Wisdom" Kahshanna Evans is an athlete, a branding and marketing expert, a public relations consultant, and has a background in wellness, having just completed a year of working with an organization that focuses on trauma-informed awareness. This last element is a recurring theme throughout our conversation: acknowledging trauma in its various forms, and managing the effects of trauma - and the failure to recognize it - in our personal and professional lives. Unique to our conversations on "The Failure Guy" podcast, she introduces the concept of "creating space" for ourselves, and having a "joy process" in all we do - especially in our professional activities. Join us for a stimulating conversation in which we discuss everything from how athletic performance in our youth can affect our confidence and accomplishments to the biochemical impact of repressed stress due to our not confronting and processing failure. And in the midst of it all, she has such a great lightness of spirit and sense of humor, you'd think this was a comedy podcast. Learn how to put trauma in its place, the importance of connecting our catchphrases with conscious processes and focusing not on the blows to our egos that failure delivers, but the benefits of the lessons learned on our journeys toward greater success.   The Acosta Institute: https://www.acostainstitute.com/ Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson - https://www.amazon.com/Caste-Origins-Discontents-Isabel-Wilkerson/dp/0593230256 Joyfully Just: Black Wisdom and Buddhist Insights for Liberated Living - https://www.kamilahmajied.com/joyfully-just

    Elruby Thomas Interview

    If most of us were scammed - not once, but twice - we would probably concede defeat and give up on whatever we were doing. But most of us are not Elruby Thomas. Burned in an early-era Bitcoin scam, then again in a gold-saving endeavor, Elruby took these events as a teachable moment, pivoted from a private tech-support firm and created a network that teaches financial literacy, digital security, the fundamentals of blockchain, cryptocurrency and smart contracts, and empowers women to find the techno mage within themselves. Always a community-builder, Elruby decided that the pitfalls she faced from lack of knowledge and mastery of fundamental principles were probably experienced by many others. Rather than be a silent victim, she chose to become a leader devoted to bringing knowledge and empowerment to all who will listen, learn and apply the knowledge gained to their real lives and their communities. Join us for an amazing discussion on how major failures can be the catalyst to the most important lessons we can learn...
