Episode 2456

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 I offer you a weekly segment called Failure Friday: a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong. In this week’s Failure Friday segment, we hear from a restaurant owner who activates a Door Dash account to bring in more business. Unfortunately, he ends up giving away $1,500 in orders for free.
