Ep. 66 - Fail Fast, Learn Faster: Creating a Safe Environment to Fail to Propel You and Your Business Forward - with Rick Lindquist

“Fail fast, fail often” is a common business concept that many apply (or desire to) in order to drive growth for their organization.

While this mindset and approach is something that many say they embrace, it isn’t always fully realized in a way that builds the right forward momentum. So what does it take to create an environment where failure isn’t feared but rather is used as a building block for mindful learning - for you and your organization?

Rick Lindquist is the founder of LegUp Ventures and former CEO of Zane Benefits now People Keep. Rick was put at the helm of the company at the ripe of old age of 22 and spent the next 10 years quickly learning and iterating in his role. From the highs and lows of that experience, he has gained a deep appreciation of the importance of learning from failure.

Now in his mid thirties and in the next phase of his career, he is focused on using what he has learned to help underdogs get a leg up, as an entrepreneur, author and consultant.

In this episode Rick shares:

• What ‘Fail Fast. Fail Often.’ really means when it comes to creating that positive approach for you and your organization
• How to create an environment that makes it safe to fail professionally and personally
• The importance of intentional self-reflection to truly see the potential lessons learned and grow from it
