Summary
Would anyone actually raise their hand and say that they enjoyed failure? If any, it would be a small number for sure because we just don't like that feeling that comes with failing. But what if failure wasn't a separate thing from success? What if failure had to happen on the journey to success?
In this motivational moment episode, Aaron goes into the idea he got from his experience traveling to Austin Texas for a crypto conference. Though it was an unlikely place to get an idea for relationships, tune into this episode for a new perspective and motivation around any failure you experience in your relationship.

| 0:10.7 | No matter the challenge that you face, I am your only host for today, Aaron Freeman, as we bring you a motivational moment around failure is a part of growth. |
| 0:20.8 | Now, I wanted to personally do this motivational moment around failure is a part of growth. Now I wanted to personally do this motivational |
| 0:23.4 | moment this time primarily with the backstory of I was in Austin, Texas this past week, and I was |
| 0:29.9 | there for a crypto conference for myself learning and growing. It's something that I'm just |
| 0:34.8 | interested in. Of course, if you're in the space or in the stock market or in America you probably are feeling this |
| 0:43.9 | downturn of the market and we'll just keep it like that but I was really |
| 0:48.4 | reminded of such a powerful principle that I wanted to bring here today so |

| 1:31.5 | Oh yeah, I do remember Ask Jeeves. It looks like a little butler guy, right? If you remember. |

| 1:49.5 | Do any of you remember that? They tried to sell dog food online? It's actually a great idea. |
| 1:55.1 | It just wasn't the right time because where is it now? Gone. And so how many of you remember my space now this one probably most of us |

| 2:11.3 | google you know amazon and you know facebook right when you think about it though Google wouldn't exist without |
