Fail again and fail better

My sister loves Tavis Smiley - and I love this video.  Tavis is right, that failure is unavoidable, and it makes us who we are today.  I think this is a message young people need to hear, and a message our school system ought to think long and hard about.  I read once that nobody in Silicon Valley takes you seriously until you've had at least three failed businesses - by then you might know what you're doing.

Here is a radio doc my friend Geoff made, about the failed project at 702 Main Street in Woodstock.  Someday I plan to 'fail up' and see the creation of a community art space in Woodstock.  Thanks Tavis!
