We tackled a big one this week: failure! We all experience it, but let's be honest, the fear of flopping can feel paralyzing. Here's the thing: failure is actually a necessary part of growth and learning. In this episode, we'll be chatting about: Why we're SO afraid of striking out (spoiler alert: it's holding you back from living a truly meaningful life!) How to embrace failure as a chance to learn and grow (instead of a total downer). We'll be talking about the importance of humility and a willingness to admit we don't know everything. Wisdom, after all, is built on applying knowledge and learning from our missteps! We'll even be sharing some embarrassing (but hilarious) personal failures from our own entrepreneurial journey and, believe it or not, fly fishing adventures! Here's the key takeaway: when we embrace the possibility of failure, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities.Think curiosity, humility, and that awesome childlike wonder we all used to have! Ready to ditch the fear and step outside your comfort zone? We challenge you to pick one thing this week – anything! – that you've been wanting to try, but maybe a little nervous about. Give yourself permission to fail, learn from it, and see where it takes you! Being a learner and embracing failure creates space for growth and discovery. Tune in to this week's episode and let's reframe failure together.

In this week's conversation, Ed and Britney discuss the importance of creating space in various aspects of life, including time, spirituality, physical space, and emotions. They share their personal experiences and strategies for making space, such as having a weekly meeting to proactively manage time, prioritizing morning practices for spiritual connection, purging unnecessary belongings, and taking breaks throughout the day to refill emotional energy. They also emphasize the need to forgive and let go of guilt to create emotional space. The conversation concludes with the idea of conducting an 'elimination diet' to identify and cut out unnecessary expenses or activities to create more space.
