Moment 35 - Why You’re (Not) A Failure: ...

DOAC
About this episode

In these ‘Moment’ episodes of my podcast, I’ll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. It’s all too easy to feel pressured by the societal expectations that are pressed onto us from a young age. But the fact is, they WILL make you feel like a failure. In this clip Elizabeth Day discusses how she was made to feel like a failure and explains why you should never let society make you feel like one ever again.
