  • Funny, enlightening and well edited

    I love the show, the production quality and finding out the cool back stories of these famous people. It’s always a surprise to learn that people like Williams Wegman or Kevin Allison ( RISK) has experienced failure. I especially liked the Michael Finkel episode and ended up buying his book.

  • Wit, insight, and vulnerability

    With wit and insight, Steve Friedman coaxes his guests to reveal their vulnerable moments and perceived failures. He also shares some of his own.

    I found the very human reflections on fear, shame and imposter syndrome especially helpful. Lots of fun banter as well!

  • Smart, Yet....Simple

    Or is it Simple, yet..smart? I love this podcast because it has a both a down-to-earth vibe and high-caliber guests. It is a great combination. It makes you think and it makes you want to keep creating despite (or inspite) of failures. Thank you!

    I strongly suggest that everyone listen to Art of Failure, Steven Friedman’s interview podcast! He interviews very successful and insightful people about their strengths and failures and how failure motivated them to become stronger and better human beings. These are interviews that all of us can learn from. I’ve enjoyed the first two and look forward to many more!
