My Favorite Mistake: Learning, Leadership, and Continuous Improvement

My Favorite Mistake is a podcast and learning platform built on a simple idea: mistakes are inevitable, but learning from them is a leadership choice. These posts explore conversations with executives, healthcare leaders, entrepreneurs, engineers, and educators who reflect candidly on mistakes that shaped their thinking, leadership, and approach to improvement.

Rather than blaming individuals, this archive focuses on system design, psychological safety, and the conditions that make it possible—and worthwhile—for people to speak up, experiment, and learn. The goal isn’t failure for its own sake, but better decisions, better leadership, and better outcomes through honest reflection.
