Notes from Chris
Episode 1728
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that we offer the weekly segment known as Failure Friday. It’s a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Today’s short story features Jonathan Fields from New York City! He is a bestselling author, podcast host, former yoga studio owner (you’ll hear about that shortly), and also one of my best friends. We’ve known each other for more than a decade and among other things, he has been part of all nine years of the World Domination Summit. His new book, Sparked, was just published to much acclaim. I asked him to tell one of his disaster stories, and he gave us a really good one. I first listened to it while I was running one day and I couldn’t stop laughing as I pictured everything unfolding. He’ll tell the story much better than I ever could … I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up. Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
