It is often the price of becoming more capable. Too many people let one missed goal, weak performance, or difficult setback become proof that they are not built for the next level. Kevin and Alan discuss how emotion can distort your judgment after a setback, why self-awareness matters more than empty confidence, and how to separate a disappointing result from a final outcome. They also share a practical way to learn from mistakes, adjust your standards, and keep moving when the work becomes more demanding. This episode offers a grounded perspective on resilience, self-belief, and using setbacks to build real skill over time. _______________________ NLU is more than a podcast.
