0:00Hello, boys and girls, ladies and germs.
0:02This is Tim Ferriss.
0:03Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferris Show.
0:05This is a special compilation episode about overcoming mistakes and failure.
0:09How do you take what seem like big losses, maybe career-ending pitfalls, and turn them into even bigger wins later?
0:18We have a compilation of highlights from a number of different guests, and there's a lesson to be taken from each of them.
0:25What do you do when your work is rejected?
0:27What do you do when the big bet fails?
0:29What do you do when the path ahead suddenly disappears?
0:32You can't make your way through the fog.
0:34There are answers and tips for all of these.
0:36And as you'll hear in this episode, setbacks can often present opportunities, huge opportunities, if you know how to look for them.
0:44So we're going to span the gamut from BJ Miller, a triple amputee on his years-long quest to ride a motorcycle, all the way to a lion tracker.
0:53And in between, we got Tim McGraw, Dax Shepard, Kathy Lanier, Jan Eleven, and others.
0:59It is an all-star cast.
