How to Eliminate Self-Doubt, Overcome Failure, & Reset Your Mind for Success
Mel Robbins sits down with hit songwriter and producer Benny Blanco, who has 29 #1 hits and 19 songs with over a billion streams. Benny shares how he built his career not through confidence or privilege, but through relentless persistence through rejection, fear, and self-doubt. The conversation covers practical mindset shifts for reframing failure, why waiting to feel ready is a losing game, and how a list Benny made before dating his wife Selena Gomez helped him stop settling. Framed around his new book "F*ck Failure," the episode argues that every failure is leading somewhere, even when you can't see it.
