At first I thought, YES, we should feel empowered to try and fail, learn and adjust, and try again. But as I started brainstorming which experiment I wanted to test first, it hit me…isn’t that actually what we do every day? Running a business, raising a family, building a house, managing a team… it doesn’t really matter where you’re focused, you always need to be thinking about something new, trying a new approach – problem solving.
