In this compelling short story episode, and just days ahead of is TED Talk at Brighton Dome. I wanted to release this transformative chapter of resilience, reinvention, and the relentless pursuit of purpose with the inspiring Dan Flanagan, founder of Dad La Soul. Dan shares the emotional rollercoaster of leaving behind a safe but unfulfilling career to chase entrepreneurial dreams, only to face crushing setbacks when his first business collapsed.

Through moments of profound vulnerability, he takes us into the darkness of failure, revealing the immense pressure of fatherhood and the weight of self-doubt that brought him to the brink. This story isn't just about recovering from failure; it’s about redefining success, which message and mission aligns so much with my own. From learning to ask for help to embracing the power of community and creativity, Dan's journey reminds us that resilience is born from adversity, and true success is measured not by the titles we earn but by the connections we build and the lives we touch.

Tune in for a raw and inspiring short story that will resonate with anyone navigating life’s challenges and striving to build something meaningful.
