About the series

“Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes it’s built on catastrophe.” – Sumner Redstone.

Entrepreneurship is a challenging path that requires a lot of hard work, persistence, and resilience. Entrepreneurs face the lows of failure and frustration. For every success, there are often many failures along the way. From failed product launches, missed opportunities, and losing clients, entrepreneurs experience setbacks that can be demoralizing and challenging to overcome.

Even the most successful entrepreneurs have faced catastrophic failures, such as bankruptcy or business closures. These moments can be devastating, but they can also provide valuable lessons and insights that can help entrepreneurs to build resilience and bounce back stronger.

The Matt Brown Show’s Secrets of #FAIL series provides a platform for CEOs of companies doing $2M in revenue to share their stories of failure. These insights can be valuable for aspiring entrepreneurs who can learn from the mistakes of others and avoid making the same errors.

By exploring the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the series offers a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in business.
