Episode 51: On Failure

None of us loves talking about how we failed. We may obsess about these flubs, missteps, errors in judgment, and mortifying mistakes on constant loop in our heads, but generally, most of us aren't going out of our way to shine a spotlight on our biggest mess-ups. But how else would we improve as business people, artisans, leaders, partners, and human beings if we didn't examine where we stumbled, and how we got up again? Chefs, restaurateurs, writers, sommeliers, and food world luminaries like Gail Simmons, Dwyane Wade, and Cheetie Kumar sat down with me at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and on previous episodes of Communal Table to share moments of painful setbacks, and the lessons they learned to move forward.
