Nic and Tarina talk about the benefits of not being busy. They ask the question, “What are we doing for the sake of being busy?” And how we wear our calendar on our sleeve—puffing up our importance.
In San Diego, they took a pedal taxi to a Ralph’s grocery store so they didn’t pay $7 for a bottle of water at their hotel. The punch line was how much Nic had to pay for a ride that was shorter than the song Piano Man by Billy Joel. But they did save $5 on their bottled water!
They return to Know This. Do That. and discuss how it is important for apprentices to fail early and fail often. Reflecting on their own experience and failures, Nic asks, “Why is failure such a dirty word?”
The saddest thing about failure is we don’t share it. Our ego tries to make us look smart and successful—we are often too proud to admit it. Nic encourages all of us to not be perfect. We will screw up and we learn and we will get better.
And the greatest quality of a leader is the ability and willingness to fail and learn from it. Failure is something we can’t avoid—but progress is defined by those who learn how to do it better and not repeat their mistakes.
