Let’s talk about failure - Woohoo! Social media tends to showcase all the highs. But every successful author and entrepreneur has battle wounds and failures that helped shape who they are today. In this episode, successful author Dave Ursillo takes us deep into the story of his failed first book. Together, we reverse engineer all the things that went TERRIBLY wrong with this first book and extract gold nuggets of wisdom and insight for YOU. This post-mortem of a failed book launch contains both practical and spiritual wisdom that’s relevant to everyone. Thank you Dave for being so humble, amazing, and speaking so honestly about this on the show!
