In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I break down a real challenge I faced while building my business and showing up consistently: things did not go as planned, and I had to pivot in real time.

After completing years of learning and building, I realized my belief about confidence and preparation was wrong. That failure cost me consistency, clarity, and results, including seasons where I did the research but did not take action every single day.

In this episode, I explain:

-The failure (technical difficulty, unclear pitching, inconsistency)

-What it costs (lost momentum, fewer results, slower progress)

-The shift (focus on one problem, one customer, daily outreach, documenting the process)

-What I would do differently (take action consistently and get clear faster)

If you are building a business, growing your audience, or refining your marketing strategy, this episode shares real experience from someone actively doing the work.

I also share lessons from the Marine Corps confidence course, a story from presenting in Cleveland, Ohio, and why “analysis paralysis” slows down growth.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I break down a real challenge I faced while building my business and trying to understand why opportunities were not “falling into my lap.”

For a long time, I thought people were just lucky, and I was “the most unluckiest person there is.” That belief cost me momentum because I was waiting instead of taking action. The shift happened when I realized action creates luck, and hard work is showing up every single day, even when you do not see results.

In this episode, I explain:

- The failure: believing luck just happens

- What it costs: waiting and doing too many different things

- The shift: being proactive, reaching out, and putting yourself out there

- What I would do differently: focus on what’s working and build a system

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I break down a real challenge I faced while building my business and growing my audience: I was showing up consistently, but I had no website, no funnels, and no clear call to action for people to go to.

After completing years of podcasting and producing 894 episodes, I realized my belief about consistency was wrong. That failure cost me clarity and slowed down my ability to turn marketing into sales.

In this episode, I explain:

-The failure: being consistent without a system

-What it costs: confusion, second-guessing, and slow revenue progress

-The shift: building a sales process, follow-up, and a real offer

What I would do differently: stop being random, stop chasing trends, and repeat what works

I also share how learning systems and data through the Spartan Incubator helped reinforce what it really means to be in business.
