You look at the people you admire, and you see the finished version. The company, the title, the stage, the applause. You almost never see the years of failure and rejection it took to get there. And quietly, you start measuring yourself against their outcome instead of your own journey.
In this solo episode, I share my honest take on my conversation this week with founder Naama Nicotra and what it stirred up for me about success, failure, and rejection. I talk about why I told Naama she is already successful even though she does not feel it yet, what I tell my own kids when they fail a test, the rejection folder that stuck with me, and the five to ten rejections that sit behind every talk I give.
This is the companion to my conversation with Naama Nicotra. And stay close, because next week I have a second episode with her, and there is a slightly embarrassing reason there are two.
For anyone searching: what success really means, how to handle rejection, redefining success, failure as part of growth, women in tech, and becoming a speaker.
