Great story

Listened to Ryan speak at a conference. Has a ton of spirit around being transparent with his own struggles.

So good!

We need more books like this! It has given so much courage! Yes am gonna chase failure!

Inspiring

This book was easy to listen to because Ryan is a great speaker. It makes a huge difference to hear the author speaking/teaching on their subject versus someone reading words. Thank you Ryan for this content, it’s what I needed to hear at a crossroads in life looking ahead to what could be next.

Great narration, motivating

As a recovering perfectionist, the concept of chasing failure really appeals to me. Leak is a lively and funny narrator. Christian-themed but not overwhelmingly so. Recommend for anyone looking to try new things and adopt a positive mindset.

Everyone should listen to this book!!!

Listening to this book feels like you’re hanging out with a wise friend who has your best interest at heart. It’s a must read if you want to throw your self doubt into the garbage can. It will change the way you live your life for sure! And for the better!

Energy level on 1,000 right now

Wow!! That’s all I can say after this phenomenal listen.

I think this is the first book I’ve ever listen does to that has charged my confidence in such a way that I can’t imagine loosing this momentum.

1 of the main reason I love this book is because it has confirmed so many random & unconventional things about me that most people would cringe at, but now I know I’m not the only one who thinks at my level of crazy.

Oh mannnnn, I could literally go on & on about how each & every chapter resonated with me and/or my life experience thus far, but I’m quite sure I’d run out of space lol

1 question I have tho is: How can I become apart of the “super readers” for this book?

I would love to have follow up feedback & conversations after this book!

Sincerely,
A 33y/o female “chasing failure” with my start up business post-COVID

Bring on the Failure

The author shares his own experiences in this book. He does an incredible job narrating, and you can here his passion in his voice. I ordered a hard copy as well for a book club, but it wasn’t going to come in before our first meeting. I downloaded the Audible version in the meantime. I’m so glad I did! It meant so much to hear it from the author! Incredible message!

Great book!

Ryan has SUCH A GREAT WAY WITH WORDS. His lessons can be applied anywhere- any industry, any role, any place.

Ryan Leak is likable, relatable, and real!

I love listening to Ryan Leak! He’s a great storyteller, relatable to many different types of people, and very experienced and knowledgeable. 

Very inspiring!

Loved this book! Every time I listen to Ryan Leak, it's always the right message at the right time. He's my favorite speaker that inspires me in so many ways whether it's in church or listening to one of his podcasts. I can't wait for another new book to come out!
