In this episode, Tyler talks about how fear of failure — not lack of skill or ambition — often shapes the decisions we make in business and life. Inspired by an off-road racing article, he reflects on how even top performers can be driven more by avoiding loss than by chasing success, and what that means for contractors navigating their own path.

Brand X Huaraches Brand X Huaraches Brand X Huaraches was established in 1973 to promote traditional Mexican craftsmanship, especially the historic huaraches. These Mexican summer sandals have existed since pre-Columbian times and were worn primarily by farm workers and rural laborers. Mexican huaraches are handwoven using thin strips of leather. The unique weaving pattern allows your feet to breathe while the leather insoles absorb moisture, making these sandals perfect for the summer. Each pair of leather huaraches is handmade, so no two pair of huaraches are exactly alike. At Brand X Huaraches, we work with local Mexican artisans to give these sandals a modern twist. Our huaraches are designed in California and made in Mexico by craftsmen who’ve been making them for decades. Our in-house design team has updated the humble huaraches by incorporating a wide range of styles and colors. We’ve also maintained quality by using the best materials.

(From the translators’ Preface)Auguste Rodin, 1840-1917, was a French sculptor. Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art. Sculpturally, Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in clay. … Rodin… modeled the human body with realism, and celebrated individual character and physicality. From the unexpected realism of his first major figure… to the unconventional memorials whose commissions he later sought, Rodin's reputation grew, such that he became the preeminent French sculptor of his time.
