Feeling stupid is a familiar feeling we all experience at some point in our lives. But what if we told you that being vulnerable and looking stupid could actually lead to long-term wins? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explore the benefits of embracing vulnerability and how it can help us become better at failure. They also discuss how everyone is a mess in some area and that it's okay to admit it. Admitting it and learning is much better than hiding it and missing out on a learning opportunity.
