Failure Is Fuel For Success: Adam Rippon...

FORBES
About this episode

For most, failure hurts and can hobble. But, for Adam Rippon, figure-skating champion and comedian and writer, Esther Povitsky, the pain of rejection and failure served as fuel for their insatiable desire to succeed. You’ll hear from them today as they speak with Alexandra Wilson of Forbes. You’ll also hear from the guy who brought Facebook to its knees, whistleblower, Chris Wylie, formerly of Cambridge Analytica. He speaks with Thomas Brewster of Forbes. Both these conversations took place at the 2018 Forbes Under-30 Summit.
