In this podcast excerpt, the speaker emphasizes that failure is an overlooked but crucial topic for leaders. He argues that true success requires elevating oneself above the day‑to‑day operations of a business and adopting an outside‑in perspective. By looking at the organization from the outside, leaders can anticipate negative ramifications of actions, make necessary internal adjustments, and ensure the internal functioning remains healthy. The core message is that everyone wants success and fears failure, but the path to success is essentially learning how to avoid failure through proactive, strategic thinking.

Chapters

My favorite chapter is the one about failure because nobody talks about it. And it's funny how, you know, you end up, I think, to your— to the point of your podcast, right, where it's elevating yourself above and beyond the day-to-day operations of your business. Only way you're going to succeed, right, is if you can truly bring yourself above it. Look basically from the outside in to make the changes you need on the inside. You know, thinking about negative ramifications of events, of human activities, you know, that's the right way to make sure the inside is functioning well. And so one of the things that, that you gravitated towards is what I tend to gravitate toward, which is, hey, everybody, everybody wants to be successful. Nobody wants to fail. But you want to know how to make sure you don't fail and you do succeed. Same thing, right? It's exactly the same thing.
