Summary

Everyone loses deals. Everyone gets knocked down. The difference between average performers and winners isn't avoiding failure—it's recovering faster. In this episode, Bob Stewart and Chad Hyams break down how high performers process loss, shorten the emotional drag, and get back into motion before most people even stand up.

You'll learn the psychology behind slow recovery, the 24–48 hour rule for resetting after a loss, how to extract lessons without spiraling, and why momentum comes from movement—not motivation. A practical, leadership-driven conversation on turning setbacks into forward progress.

1:06.6	i haven't looked at all your notes yet but when i saw recovering from failure i just figured it was how does Bob get over the Seahawks blowing it again?
