You've heard a hundred failure stories by now. Notice anything? Almost every one is told by someone who succeeded. Drew and I open the failure episode with a Silicon Valley conference built entirely around founders sharing their biggest flops, and why it...failed. We also get into the WWII bomber study that led the military to armor the wrong parts of its planes, and why today's straight-A students are often the most terrified of failing. If failure is supposed to be something to celebrate, why does it feel scarier than ever?
