@earthood The Skill Nobody Teaches: How to Fail Forward; JIM MAZZIOTTI; Live from Texas realconversations failforward realestate success author Texas Iowa ** CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIES Hosted by Calvin Schwartz Meet JIM MAZZIOTTI; Once again, I invoke elements of the vast universe for connectivity. I met Jim Mazziotti a month ago. A blink of an eye, and I was a guest on his podcast, ‘Senior to Seniors,’ obviously focusing on seniors. Gosh, I’m an octogenarian. A perfect interview. Check it out. Now I get a chance to host Jim, a fascinating, hugely accomplished top real estate and property specialist. He is eloquent, successful, giving, sensitive, and caring. A visionary, family man, and author. Now watch this. Today’s interview deals with ‘How to Fail Forward.’ The most important skill in business and life is not the ability to succeed. It’s the ability to fail forward. This is brilliant thinking. Comes from John C. Maxwell’s landmark work. Achieving success through failure. You all really should watch this interview. In the meantime, some ideas and words to energize. Often, Jim talks about reducing fear. Allow failure. Take action. Failing backward is waving a white flag. Failing forward is accepting everything. He originally studied music. Would love to meet Paul McCartney. They filmed Field of Dreams a mile from his house in Iowa. He left Iowa bravely and went to Oregon, and now is in Texas. He is in sales. I was in eyewear sales for 25 years. We relate well to each other. We all face failure. You are not your failure. Recognize and move forward. Failure is a price we pay to achieve success. Simply brilliant. Real. Necessary. AI can’t help you as Jim can. I told him this. I took two pages of notes during the interview. And he’s coming back. He made my day.” Calvin ?️ 813+ Interviews & Videos; 5 ½ years (AI-ranked podcast in these categories in the top 1 -2% Globally!) ? 9,550+ Subscribers — and growing ?
