FailCon: Recent Episodes

!! Revive FailCon !!
FailCon used to be this conference where renowned experts and entrepreneurs like Travis Kalanick (Uber) and Vinod Khosla (Sun Microsystems) openly talked about lessons learned from failures. However, ironically, FailCon was shut down in 2015. This podcast aims to revive FailCon in a low-budget interview series with some of my peers and colleagues. FailCon, for me, was all about debunking survivorship bias. Hence, the objective with my guests is to have candid conversations about what we learned from challenging setbacks in our lives.
