Welcome, guys and gals to the Mantox show. I'm Connor Beaton, the host and founder of Man Talks.

Today, we're going to be talking all about lessons from losing it at all. And I'm going to share my

personal lessons in a recent failure, recent business failure, which was pretty incredible

and very eye-opening. And it caused me to go

in a little bit of a journey of understanding failure in a very different way and really doing

some research and understanding how some of the most successful people in business have overcome.

Some of the most successful professional people and entrepreneurs have overcome

failures along their career path because the reality is is that every single successful person

has learned to be successful on some way in some way shape or form along the way

because of the failures that they've had and the lessons that they've learned from those

failures along the

way. So just a little bit of background. Last year, I decided to put on a conference called the

Real Talk Summit. And the idea was I wanted to have the real conversations about business and

entrepreneurship that a lot of people weren't having conversations about mental health and wellness

and profit, sustainability,

impact the whole thing. And the idea was that I was going to hire Gary Vaynerchuk and bring in,

bring Gary Vee in to speak. And so I decided to put on this conference. I brought in some amazing

people to help support it. One of them is now the COO for Mantox and put on this conference and get as many people

out as we possibly could.

So the fun fact about this was that we had four months to put together a, you know,

2,000 person conference, which is if you're in the event space or if you've ever been in

the event space, you'll know is a little bit, a little bit of mayhem.
