Side Hustles – How Joel and Walt Found Freedom Through Embracing Failure

We’ve all experienced failure and felt its sting. But what if failure wasn’t something to fear, but rather a teacher offering invaluable life lessons? On their weekly podcast, friends Joel Elston and Walt Thiessen discussed how embracing failure led them to new heights of success they never could have imagined. Joel shared how failing in the insurance industry was the best thing that ever happened to him. “I needed to fail to get out of it,” he said. That failure opened the door for Joel to discover his true passion of life coaching and the law of attraction. Now he helps countless others transform their lives. Walt related to Joel’s story, finding that persisting through many failures in his creative pursuits ultimately led him to a more sustainable approach and breakthrough successes. The two friends agreed that failure provides the most intense learning. As Walt noted, Elon Musk’s philosophy of “fail early, fail often” fueled his company SpaceX’s incredible innovations. Joel affirmed that the brain absorbs information fastest after failure to avoid repeating mistakes. Through sharing stories of entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, they showed how persisting through failures and learning from mistakes paved the way for world-changing success. Joel and Walt challenged the mindset that views failure as something to fear. “Failure instructs,” Joel declared. They encouraged embracing failure as a growth mechanism, an opportunity to learn rather than a reason to quit. Walt reflected on how finding the courage to fail freely ultimately led to attracting the results he desired. This thought-provoking conversation left me with a profound question: What failures or perceived “mistakes” might actually be my greatest teachers, if only I had the courage to learn from them? Joel and Walt inspired me to face life’s challenges with resilience and use each perceived “failure” to grow into my highest potential.
