What if success isn’t defined by avoiding failure, but by the courage to keep going? In this episode of The Epiphany Effect, we explore Michael Jordan’s famous words: “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” Together, we’ll unpack the power of trying—why it matters more than perfection, and how every attempt, no matter how small, shapes resilience, character, and growth.
Through personal stories (like leading a workshop during a power outage and training for a half marathon), research insights from Brené Brown and Angela Duckworth, and practical tools you can use right now, this episode will inspire you to reframe failure, embrace persistence, and take imperfect steps forward.
You’ll learn:
- Why failure isn’t the enemy—and shame is often the real barrier
- How “micro-tries” build resilience and momentum over time
- Practical tools like reframing failure in the moment, tracking your attempts, and leading with vulnerability
- A one-week “Try Challenge” to put Jordan’s mindset into practice
If you’ve ever hesitated to start because you feared failing, this conversation will remind you that the only true failure is not trying at all.
