(https://www.theh2duo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Copy-of-1074-x-366-podcast-template-2.png) George Hawkins is the Harvard educated Founder of Moonshot LLC and just recently, Moonshot Partners, a Professor of Practice at American University and former head of DC Water. He facilitated the transformation of DC Water and Sewer Authority to DC Water and oversaw taking DC Water from some very challenging times to the national and international reputation it now enjoys. George wants to help other enterprises tell their story, create replicable roadmaps and reach their dreams. Top Takeaways: As water nerds passionate about communication, obviously, our chat with George Hawkins is ripe with takeaways: The incredible importance of communication to our industry, however, it’s always a treat to hear that perspective from someone who is on the front lines of water technology and financing the way that George is. We talk about the importance of internal communication and how you have to begin on the inside to ever hope to have an effective external communication strategy. Internally this means not only writing down your mission, vision, and values but living them as an organization and ensuring your entire team hears them used regularly and sees them in action. We also talk about the role of communication in earning trust with the communities we serve. Show Notes: [4:15] Life after DC Water: how entrepreneurial life has treated George Hawkins this past year. [8:21] George shares how his perspective of the industry has changed given his new role in it this past year. [12:46] George gives us examples from his experiences that made him an advocate for communication in the water industry. [22:23] In his own words: advice on how water educators and communicators can win over upper management. [28:56] Why it’s so important for an organization, especially in the water industry, to not only believe in the mission but more importantly, act on it. [35:58] George shares how can utilities earn back their communities trust, given the fact that people are sort of wary, of us but we need their trust to move forward with new infrastructure and technology. [44:06] Hear George’s take on why customer service is so vital to utilities today, especially related to adopting new technology and addressing funding needs. [57:00] With all he has seen and been introduced to, hear what has THE George Hawkins the most excited about the future of water. [1:05:12]  George speaks directly to all you men and women in the field, braving all conditions, and working tirelessly in a thankless job. He shares with you why what you do matters so much.

But McArdle says that recognizing failure—and in some cases embracing it—is a crucial part of what makes American culture, markets, and society successful. But she also says we’re getting worse at dealing with failure.
