22. BEN CURRIER - Embracing Your Failures

All The Best with John Chisum

Ben Currier has spent the last 15 years working in Finance & Accounting in many industries spanning public accounting, video games, healthcare, real estate, and diamond jewelry! He also hosts the Failure Guy podcast as the World's #1 Failure. The podcast is meant to shine a light on the fact that 'failure' is not just something that shouldn't be avoided, but actually is a necessary stepping stone on the way to success! Instead of Fake It Till You Make It, his motto has been Fail It Till You Nail It!

While most of us try to protect our fragile egos and run away from the word “Failure”, our guest on today’s episode however is brazenly honest about all the terrible failures he’s had in his life and shares how owning them and working through them was a necessary part of a very successful career that he now has. Host John and Ben have the most fun conversation exploring how a little more honesty and self awareness can lead to greater success and satisfaction in life.
