ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Imagine the possibilities, maybe we would be in a job we actually like, maybe we would have written a best-selling novel, maybe we would have written Harry Potter. What is worse, our education and often our parenting teaches kids to fear failure and to fear exploration. As we discuss on the show some kids are fearful of "going outside the lines" and this continues in life.
We learn how comedian Chris Rock uses a fail fast method to win over his audiences. We learn how to use a "happiness map" and we learn lessons from pottery class.
