In Conversation With Mario Quezada On Growth Through Failure, Design, Mindset, Letting Go of Toxic Positivity and Perfectionism, and More!

Tune in to my conversation with Mario Quezada. In this episode of The Soul's Conquest, Madhurima Sappatti and Mario Quezada discuss the importance of failure in learning! They explore the concept of getting 100 "no's" a day in sales, and the importance of understanding mindset and how it affects our lives. He shared his creative journey and how he used to care deeply about what others thought of his work, but now focuses on the client's needs. They also discussed toxic positivity, the importance of being mindful, and how perfectionism can prevent people from failing and growing. Lastly, Mario shares his soul's conquest, which is to use his creativity to help people in a meaningful and lasting way, and left Madhurima's listeners with the advice to be grateful, ask why they are doing something, and to take the time to work on their mindset.
