Changing Your Outlook on Failure with Ian Oliver
Monday Jan 18, 2021
Monday Jan 18, 2021
If you are like me the thought of failing at something seems like the end of the world. If you fail you weren't meant for it, you aren't cut out for it, you should just stop and do something else because the world is telling you to look elsewhere. I sat down with Ian, a content creator who runs Say Something Productions, and spoke with him all about his journey and all the numerous times he's failed to get to where he's at now. We are always hard on ourselves, and some of us focus too much on the worst case scenario. Listen to this episode if you want to get a little boost of confidence on your artist journey. We all go through it, the important thing is that you get back up! Follow Ian on IG: https://www.instagram.com/saysomethingproductions/
