Turning Failure Into Learning - Part 1 Futura Talks

So, as you can probably tell by now, I like to engage with topics that you’ve likely heard lots about and put my own spin, share my personal journey with it or take an entirely different approach and today’s topic is no different - today I would like to talk about the big “F” word - failure!
I thought the best way for me to unpack today’s topic is to share the lessons I have learned from the “failures” I have experienced in my life. Lessons that help me deal with the day-to-day setbacks or so-called failures to the bigger more monumental ones – lessons that have helped me to keep going after feeling like an utter failure – or worse a disappointment to others and myself. 
Episode Highlights:
02:41 - Lessons that help me deal with the day-to-day setbacks
04:57 - Lesson number one - Failure is in the eye of the beholder
08:17 - Lesson number two - It’s better to fail than to succeed 100% of the time
14:52 - Lesson number three - It’s better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all
About Farrah:
Farrah is driven by her  purpose which is to elevate leaders that aspire to be agents of change and innovation. Farrah looks to challenge the status quo, advocate for progress and find ways to level the playing field so that leaders from diverse backgrounds can have a seat at the table and a platform to be seen and heard. 
Farrah is the Founder & CEO of Futura Funds, which was founded with the purpose to elevate women who aspire to be agents of change and innovation. Women who have bold dreams but often lack the resources, support and access to capital to bring their ideas to life. Our aim is to level the playing field so they have access to the resources and support to not only succeed but to thrive.


About Futura Funds:
While women start businesses at faster rates than men, less than 2% of female founders hit $1M in revenue and less than 18% ever hit 6 figures. In addition, they receive less than 3% of venture capital funding with less than 1% to minorities (men & women combined).


Futura Funds aims to  change this by helping female entrepreneurs to:
1) Grow & scale by preparing the company for investment raises and by connecting them to their ideal capital partners
2) Stay ahead of the curve by adopting an innovation mindset to continually unlock new opportunities
3) Overcome challenges and navigate mindset roadblocks they face through individual and group coaching programs
Our overall aim is to support founders throughout their entrepreneurial journey by giving them the tools, resources and advice they need to succeed.
