#FailBig one day, do it again another, and with #persistence you'll #succeed! I've burned bridges, lost money, and put myself in situations I thought would negatively effect me forever. #RealityCheck = Every second, every day, you can choose to give yourself a second chance. This is the difference between #successful people and those who are entitled to the rewards or those who gave themselves a million chances! #NoExcuses

What motivates success? Whether fuelled by fame, fortune, or mommy issues, successful people generally have a shared trait. Failure. A willingness to get repeatedly knocked on their ass and a drive to relentlessly tweak their approach and get back up again.

Opus Creative and PACT teamed up to host a panel of failures; a group of down-to-earth folks who learned to say “fuck you” to crocodile tears and grit through the sting of defeat.

Panel Participants

Kim Malek (Owner of Salt + Straw Ice Cream)

Todd Hoffman (Miner + Star of Gold Rush)

Scott Clum (Principal/Creative Director at Ride Studio)

Geoff Cecil (Creative Director at Opus Creative)

moderated by Ron Crump (Creative Producer + Global Advertising Manager at Intel)
