We're supposed to learn from our own mistakes that other people's errors can be instructive

too, from efforts to control the weather that went disastrously awry to the untimely death

of the Segway boss. History is a treasure trove, mishaps and meltdowns that can teach us

app, our podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Maya Shankar, host of the Slight Change of Plans, which Apple shows as the best show of the year.

In our new season, we'll explore how the science of change can help us better navigate

who at age six became one of the first students to desegregate in all white elementary school,

for herself. Listen to a Slight Change of Plans on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever
