I gotta say it’s amazing to me that Silicon Valley is still so closed when it comes to failure. I had always read about how some of those failures were learning more from their falls but I guess they are the minority. The whole fake it till you make it is a big push by some life coach gurus who just don’t take the time to understand the context of that individual’s life. It’s like this blanket mantra that loses all meaning because it’s spouted and seldom understood. I applaud your vulnerability approach. It’s real and others can identify with it and can lead you to some great opportunities.
