When failure shows up at your business’s front door for the third time... Should you offer it coffee or finally figure out why it keeps showing up?

In this episode, Chrissy and Josh dive headfirst into the messy middle of managing failure in leadership, because let’s be real: business mistakes happen, and how you respond can make or break your company culture.

From missed targets to employee slip-ups to operational misfires, this episode is your unofficial guide to handling setbacks with clarity, courage, and just enough humor to stay sane. Whether you’re a founder working on your CEO mindset, a team lead navigating employee expectations, or a manager trying to build workplace trust, this conversation is packed with practical tools and real-world insights you can put into play immediately.

You’ll discover why leadership failure can spark leadership growth, how emotional intelligence and psychological safety drive innovation, and how to run a clear postmortem analysis that focuses on fixes, not blame. We also cover how your failure response, leadership communication, and operational systems shape your team dynamics and define your ability to lead under pressure.

Listen in, laugh a little, and learn how to lead smarter even when things slightly go side ways.
