Flops uncovers how outrageous failure can spark learning, inspire bold new ideas, lead to surprising redemptions, and offer a chance to build something better. Join hosts Karen Beattie and Ray Sylvester as they talk to ambitious entrepreneurs about the failures — and rebounds — that shaped them into who they are today.
