In today's episode, we discuss and analyze our own phrase to help us understand why it has helped us learn how to deal with failures in the most positive way possible. How can collecting failures in the bank effectively teach one how to best handle negative outcomes and even be used as a guide to figuring out how to ultimately succeed? Tune in to find out!
