Seeing the “big picture” in failure.
"Failure" is another one of those taboo topics that we're all ashamed to talk about until we can share it against a backdrop of sensational success. In entrepreneurship and in life, failure is an essential part of experimentation and growth — it's the result of having the courage to step into the unknown where there is the risk of unexpected outcomes. For business, it can actually hold valuable clues to our most successful innovations — the 3M post-it note, being a classic example.
If you've been hiding behind the shame of past failures — personal or professional — this inspiring episode is for you. Listen as Marcus shares his perspective on the most important attitude for entrepreneurs (abundance), how to fail well, and the crippling effects of shame when we hide from our failures instead of owning them and moving on.
Marcus shares lessons from his 27-year career as an inventor and industrial designer in the field of mobility, beginning with the Pi-Cycle (now hanging in the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago) where he found himself competing head-to-head with Elon Musk for funding, to culminating in his current company, Orbis Electric, and its revolutionary EV in-wheel motor technology that can transform any combustion engine to a hybrid in under three hours.
