  • Interesting insights into startup challenges

    They've got a curious collection of guests in the first few episodes -- I like that they've all succeeded at big enterprises, as well as failed at others. Now how do we get Elon Musk on the show? I want to know about his big mess ups.

  • So fascinating

    the completely new way of looking at ways to achieve success -- thru failure -- is fascinating. I hope they manage to update the show more regularly... I've listened to all four episodes this week, and now want more!

  • Ready for more

    It's rare you get to hear successful people willing talk about their failures, how exactly they screwed up, and what they could have done better. A friend told me about the podcast, and it's not the kind of thing I would have listened to without a recommendation, but it turned out to be fascinating stuff. Looking forward to more episodes!

  • Learn from the best (mistakes)

    Some great lessons and valuable insights for anyone interested in business or product dev. I'm an MBA candidate spending the summer exploring the tech startup scene in California this summer. I was surprised at so much of what we're trained not to do in B school still gets done and leads to failure.
