Summary

Founder and CEO Ari Rastegar, "the Oracle of Austin," is a real estate developer known for major Sunbelt projects and his Wall Street Journal Best Seller, The Gift of Failure.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. We've demonized the concept of failure and gave it a negative connotation. What we are trying to do is demystify the baggage and say that this is part of the process and that is how it works. The key factor is learning, and it holds true in life, business and relationships.

2. In life, making a mistake or mishap is how you move towards mastery.

3. No value in this world will happen without persistence. Persistence is the mother of all success.
