Research shows that talking about failure makes for happier, more productive workers. Often, discovering or inventing a new idea – even an awesome one – isn’t enough to make a company or product grow, flourish and thrive. Given the pressure founders face from their peers, their investors and themselves, failing can sometimes feel like it’s not an option. Many true entrepreneurs, however, understand that today’s failure is just a misstep along the way to future success. Join Betaworks, Grey and Gimlet’s Alex Blumberg for this “founder confessional” discussion of ideas that didn’t work out, and how these founders figured out what to do next.

This session is limited to attendees that are twenty-one years of age or older.
