Good stuff. It is always when things go bad and all the confidence and ego fades away (like I imagine you were after your second failure) that lessons can have that thorough impact like it should like that show had. I challenged my friend to do 100 push ups, sounded impossible for him to do to everyone else there.. He did it though, humans are more capable than they give them self credit for and its usually competition that brings out the best in them. That carries into business too, when you are competing closely with other companies, the best products are made.

I think of Elon Musk coming close to bankruptcy so many times. he did the hardwork and dedication.. He only made it through the storm with the confidence in his mission and the never quit attitude.

Thanks for sharing!
