The one common denominator of the world’s most successful people is that they have all failed. They all took risks and flopped. They’ve created businesses nobody cared about, made films nobody wanted to see, wrote words nobody wanted to read, and made music nobody wanted to listen to.
And yet, each and every one of them became the successful people they are, not in spite of, but because of those misfires, flops, and failures. So, what makes the rest of us dare to think that we should run from the very things that made them who they are? And what if chasing failure was actually the quickest way to succeed?
Join me today as we connect with Ryan Leak to discuss his book, Chasing Failure.

In all things Jesse Iwuji does, there are two constant elements: his devotion to service and his inspirational nature to many. Jesse went from competing at the top level of Division-1A college football to rising the ranks of the military as a Lieutenant Commander, and is now the only current driver in all of NASCAR at the national levels that actively serves his country as a US Military member.
It has been key for Iwuji, who is currently serving in our country’s reserve fighting force, to honor his country while pursuing excellence in the business world as a business owner and on the track as a driver. It should come as no surprise that he has championed companies and charities that give back to our men and women in uniform.
Jesse is also a big supporter of NASCAR diversity, equity, and inclusion. Today he is one of two African Americans competing at NASCARs national level of racing. He was honored by NASCAR for two years in a row – the Diverse Driver of the Year Award. He is well versed both on and off the track!

Liane has never climbed Mount Everest (and probably never will). So far, she’s never been in space. She doesn’t even have an Olympic gold medal (although she did win the grade 9 Physical Education award). But the prize for solving the most difficult team challenges is named after her (no, not really, but someday it probably will be).
For the past 25 years, Liane has researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. Known as the “teamwork doctor,” she’s worked with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across a variety of industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including 26 Global Fortune 500 companies (and counting), she has developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them.
