Denny Thompson: Stop Playing it Safe - The Privilege of Failure, the Risk of Never Taking the Risk, & Why the Best Life Rarely Goes According to Plan, Ep. 319

from The Built Different Podcast with Dr. Zach Clinton · host Dr. Zach Clinton

What if failure isn’t something to fear, but one of the greatest gifts you’ve ever been given? In this episode, Dr. Zach and Joshua Broome sit down with renowned quarterback coach and cohost of the Built 4 More Podcast, Denny Thompson, to unpack the privilege of failure, the danger of playing it safe, and why the biggest risk in life may be never taking one at all. Denny shares powerful lessons from coaching elite athletes, navigating unexpected adversity, walking alongside his wife through cancer, and learning to surrender the outcomes he simply couldn’t control. Together, they explore how failure can redirect us, discomfort can develop us, and faith gives us the courage to keep moving when life doesn’t go according to plan. Because if you’re lucky, life won’t work out exactly the way you thought it would—and that may be where God does some of His greatest work.   Links: Find Out More About CORTX - Denny’s cutting-edge sports science and performance training programs and facility: About us — Cortx Performance Check out the Built4More Podcast with Denny & Pastor Joby Martin: Built 4 More Podcast Follow Denny on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/dennythompsonjax/?hl=en Wrestling with the Fear of Failure?
