\u201cI\u2019m 100% a fan of failure because at least if you\u2019re failing, you\u2019re trying.\u201d \u2014 Scott Hamilton

In this episode, Brian interviews Scott to discuss the importance of competition and Scott\u2019s new book,\xa0\u201cFinish First: Winning Changes Everything.\u201d Scott explains why failure is essential to achieving success in life and business, how to break the pattern of losing and achieve your goals, and the key question to ask yourself that\u2019ll lead you to your true purpose. He also offers motivation and encouragement to help you take that important first step after experiencing a setback or failure.
