Great show but…

“I’m a fan of the show. Full stop. That said, there’s something in this industry and in the TED-like circles that always bugs me. I recently listened to Debbie on Kara Swishers podcast and a very thoughtful listener asked a question about her obsession with other people’s failures and asked her to share one of her own. She could not. The closest thing was that she accepted a job at a corporate design company after college. I’m sorry, but that isn’t failure or even a setback.
So I’m just curious why there’s so much obsession in these idea circles with failure and overcoming challenges and so little acknowledgment of the truth: some people are just LUCKY! It’s not that they have the most resilient mindset or have figured out how to get through challenges. Many times, it’s simply that they’ve lived a fortunate life where things just kind of clicked for them and there’s wasn’t much to overcome. Let me be clear…there is nothing wrong with this!! But to pretend grit and determination are the key ingredients to success is just ridiculous. Debbie and many of her guests have had a relatively smooth path with opens doors AND have made the most of it. Good for them and for her! But let’s please let’s just be honest about this reality.”
