About this listen
What if your biggest failure wasn’t a mistake—but a message you ignored the first few times? In this episode of Inference & Incense, we talk about failure not as collapse, but as interruption—the kind that shows up when you’ve optimized your life a little too well.
We share personal stories of crashing while doing everything “right,” overfitting ambition to the wrong model, and realizing—usually too late—that some breakdowns are actually course corrections.
Along the way, we pull from psychology, data thinking, and spiritual frameworks (with a live card reading, of course) to explore why clarity so often arrives only after the faceplant. If you’ve ever looked back at a painful moment and thought, “Oh… that was trying to move me,” this episode is for you.
