“Success,” it has been said, “is not the absence of failure, but going from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm.”
This podcast was created to highlight and learn from others who have turned their short-term failures into massive successes in hopes that it will both inspire and encourage others to push through their trials on their journey to becoming real successes.
The Rush to Fail podcast will feature people from all walks of life who will share some of their biggest and most impactful experiences that have shaped their lives for the better.
The Rush to Fail podcast took a year hiatus but I felt the overwhelming urge to come on and talk about what I witnessed and the impressions that I had within 72 hours of the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk on the UVU campus.
In this episode, I reflect on the shocking shooting of Charlie Kirk and why it marks another monumental moment in history—the kind where we’ll always remember where we were when we heard the news. I dive into the dangers of echo chambers on social media that isolate us, preventing honest conversations and deepening division in our society.
I also share a personal experience from my visit to Memphis at the site where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, and how it shaped my appreciation for those who risk their comfort, reputation, and even safety to engage in hard conversations in the face of opposition. Their courage reminds us that progress happens when we step into places where disagreement lives and voices need to be heard.
These are my raw and unedited thoughts about history, courage, and the call for us to break through the walls of isolation to connect as humans and continuing to have the difficult conversations in order to keep America as the land of the free and home of the brave.

Facts OVER Feelings!
It has been a LONG time since my last podcast and a LOT has happened.
Today in this solo podcast I discussed some of the latest blog posts over the past 2 months starting with why FACTS trump FEELINGS.
Today’s society is far too concerned with feelings. Just look at the most heated debates in politics. When feelings supersede and overwhelm facts, society suffers.
We talk about the dangers of placing feelings above facts and then I discuss VALUE and how to get ahead by leading with value.
To finish things up I discuss how good things come to those that wait and why I named the podcast RUSH to FAIL.
It is good to be back on the mic!
