Building Better Humans Project

Embracing Failure as Part of Success Are you avoiding failure? In this thought-provoking episode of the Building Better Humans Project podcast, host Glenn, challenges our conventional understanding of failure. Rather than seeing failure as the opposite of success, Glenn reframes it as an essential component of the journey toward achievement. Every person you admire has likely failed more times than most people have even attempted something new. The difference? They didn't let failure define them—they transformed it into feedback, fuel, and stepping stones toward their goals. This episode dives into how failure is simply data—information telling you that something about your approach needs adjustment. Just as we don't criticize babies for falling when learning to walk, we shouldn't expect perfection from ourselves on first attempts. Through personal stories from business setbacks to challenges on the Kokoda Track, Glenn illustrates how his own failures became the foundation for his current success.
