918. Win or Learn

What if your biggest setback is actually preparing you for your greatest success? In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares the inspiring story of Tenzing Norgay's failed 1952 attempt to summit Mount Everest and the simple phrase that carried him through the toughest moments: ça va bien, or "it's going well." Drawing lessons from the mountain to the dental practice, Dr. Killeen explores why failure is never wasted when you're willing to learn from it. Whether it's a difficult case, a hiring mistake, or a disappointing season in your practice, every challenge leaves behind valuable lessons that make the next attempt stronger. The goal is not to avoid failure, but to keep climbing with a positive attitude and the confidence that every experience is moving you forward.
