An investor once fell asleep during Melanie Perkins' pitch for Canva. Today that company is worth $60 billion. This ep digs into what happens after those moments that make you want to hide under the covers forever.
We explore why failure physically hurts (yes, your brain processes rejection like stubbing your toe), why waiting for motivation is backwards, and how success stories like Oprah, Thomas Edison and Anna Wintour all started as 'failures.'
