Points of Failure

Points of Failure

This is the Points of Failure podcast, where we'll discuss all kinds of failure, from inaction to impulse. Our guests range from experts in their fields to those who simply speak from experience and anyone in between. Our hope is that you'll find something useful in each episode to help you understand the areas in your life where you feel you have failed, are failing, or fear you will fail; and how to manage those feelings and potentially mitigate future failures.
