10:48- How do you view the concept of failure, and what role has failure played in your own success?

Failure is the only constant truth, and I’ve written in my book that balance sheets are made in the end—there will be both failures and successes.
What I am today is the result of the excess of successes over failures, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t failures along the way.
In hindsight, I see that accepting those failures and moving on prevented even bigger failures, and that’s why they don’t bother me anymore, though it still hurts when things don’t go as planned.

20:34- What is one lesson you hope leaders will take away from your book?

This is my story—tell yours and liberate yourself, because someone is waiting to hear it.
Some very personal things you may not want to share, but letting them out is important, as it might resonate with someone else and inspire them to do the same.
I wanted to start this process with myself, and it’s important to let it out because until you do, the healing or connection can’t begin.
