I think perhaps the most important factor is recognizing that you can't avoid risk.

You can take risks or you cannot take risks, in which case you're taking the risk of

obsolescence, stagnation, loneliness, adventure-free life.

So it's really a matter of choosing which risk you want to take. Do you want to take

the one where you stretch and try something that might not work out well, might end in failure,

or do you want to take the risk of doing nothing and letting the world sort of pass you by?

Hey there. What's up? It's Chase. Welcome to another episode of the show.

We used to think about failure as the opposite of success, right?

And yet today we are torn between two failure cultures, one that says to avoid failure

at all costs and the other that says fail fast,

fail often, you know, these are just experiments, how can we get through them as quick as possible?

But the trouble with those two extremes is that both of those approaches lack a bunch of subtlety.

They lack distinctions that help us separate good from bad. And that,

understanding the right kind of failure and the wrong kind of failure is the topic of today's

episode, where my guest is Amy Edmondson. She is the Novartis Professor of Leadership

and Management at the Harvard Business School, renowned for research

on psychological safety for over 20 years. She's got all kinds of award-winning work.

She's appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times. She's got a huge

TED Talk, How to Turn a Group of Str strangers into a team. And this particular episode today,

we talk about the concept of the right kind of wrong, the science of failing well. That is the title

and subtitle of her new book. Cannot wait for you to enjoy today's episode revolutionizing how we ought to think about failing well.

I'm going to get out of your way and let you enjoy the show.
