Great show. Love the casual nature of it and who can't relate to failure?!

Description

Points of Failure is a podcast about what actually goes wrong, and the part people don't want to look at.


Most conversations about failure happen after it's been cleaned up, framed, and turned into a lesson. This one starts at the breakdown and works backward. Through guest interviews and solo episodes, we examine the patterns behind failure in work, relationships, identity, and decision-making, with a bias toward what people are avoiding rather than what they're processing.


If you're noticing a pattern you can't explain away anymore, you're probably in the right place.
