Fail. A word we spend our whole lives running away from. The truth is, failure is the most common outcome for entrepreneurs and startups. The problem is that we rarely talk about these painful experiences with complete candor in a way that destigmatizes failure and de-risks the journey for others. The Real F Word podcast will explore invaluable insights from the stories of failed businesses and startup collapses. These are the real stories rarely discussed by entrepreneurs and often hidden by investors.
