Filling you in on two of the TEDx conferences I heard back from over the last few days. How I’m dealing with rejection and why I feel like a bird stuck on a porch when the door is wide open.

I used to believe I was forced into entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship and owning a business felt like a cruel side effect of getting to do work that I loved. But recently I had a memory of one of my first enterprising experiences.

More reflections on the first application to be declined and a summary of what I’ve learned in my first 9 interviews on failure. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts

Ok of the 9 TEDx conferences I’ve applied to, I just got my first rejection.

And it doesn’t feel good. I’m processing out loud with y’all here in real-time. It does feel like a kick in the gut even though I know it’s a part of the process. I’m also talking about how failure is a part of distilling down to the true essence of things.
