My Takeaways

My takeaways from this conversation was

1. There’s a difference between growing from failure and just being reckless: Count the cost of your actions or inactions, and its impact to yourself and those around you.
2. Men need to be taught it’s alright to fail: It’s a world of competition and you have to build your skills in order to thrive
3. Look at your life and notice what you did not invest in, and how that stuff turned out: If things are not working, I should not be surprised. How much time have I put into making it work? How much time have I put into getting the knowledge I need to make it work?
