Scott Empringham delivers a personal reflection about how major failures—whether in employees, business, or personal life—become lessons that enable smarter future decisions. He describes his own turnaround: rebuilding his business, remarrying his wife, and resuming global travel (Shanghai, Mexico, Portugal, across the United States) to share his passion for marketing and reach more people than before.

If you were to look back, any major failure be with employees. It could be with your business. It could be with your personal life. Any major failure, if you're honest with yourself, you can look back and say, that was a lesson I needed to learn. And you carry that forward and you did the next business relationship smarter, better, or you made the same mistake over again and you got a chance to learn it again. For me, it was one of the biggest opportunities of my life. Nobody could have ever explained to me that in five years I'd be remarrying my wife. I would have rebuilt my business. I would have been traveling all over the world again. Shanghai, Mexico, Portugal, all of the United States, sharing what I love, marketing, and reaching even more people than I was before. It was never even possible to me, and yet it happened.
