Why you need to fail at work with Astro Teller

Astro Teller, 'Captain of Moonshots' and head of X at Alphabet, explains how his team at the Moonshot Factory pursues radical technologies by deliberately taking big risks and celebrating failure. The episode follows a 'bad ideas brainstorm' session and distills Teller's approach into five principles any organization can use to drive innovation. Teller also describes the unusual design choices around X's office—including a simple rule employees must break just to enter the building—that are meant to keep a creative culture alive.
