Each failure built the courage for the next attempt — Sam and Shaan on resilience through repetition
Sam: every failure made the next attempt less scary. The first failed product was devastating. The fifth was a learning experience. By the tenth, failure was just data. Courage-is-learnable through accumulating failures.•
Shaan: after every failure, he runs a stoic post-mortem: what was within my control that I could have done better? What was outside my control that I need to accept? This practice turns every failure into a learning opportunity rather than a trauma.
