Episode Details

Inspired by a recent interview with NBA Player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, where a reporter asked him if he view the "season as a failure."

Let's talk about the magic of being an underdog and how failure can actually be your secret weapon to enjoy the journey not just the destination. 

Failing can teach you valuable lessons and give you the experience you need to crush it next time. It's like lifting weights - every time you fail, you're building up your resilience and mental muscles.

Don't be afraid to embrace your inner underdog.  It's not binary. Don't stack up one single loss against the entire season.

Don't ride the highs to high or the lows to low. 

The willingness to get in the game -- even with the losses and the wins -- will push you to grow into the person and organization you deeply want. Get in the arena!
