77: Ryan Leak’s Take on Why We Should Chase Failure

If you want to achieve the goals and the dreams that are on your heart you have to get comfortable with failure. On today's episode we dive deep into this topic with our guest, Ryan Leak. Ryan is a film maker, entrepreneur, pastor, husband and father. He has been on a quest the last several years to chase failure and see what happens.
In his documentary, "Chasing Failure," Ryan set out to find the answer to the question, "what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail" by doing something he knew he would in fact, fail. It is the great common denominator between us all: we will fail. But we won't all make the move to fail and that is what Ryan sits down with us today to discuss!
We need to search for the small wins every day that get us closer to our goals in order to actually get there. It is taking real action on these things and realizing that once we do fail, perseverance, consistency, and faith will help us get back up and keep going.
