Embrace the Suck for Personal and Professional Growth

If you’re not willing to fail, you’ll never master anything new.

We push kids to try new things, fail, and improve—but do we follow our own advice?

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, Mason sits down with Ryan Patrick, lead guitarist of Otherwise, to discuss how embracing failure is essential for growth in business, leadership, and life. Ryan shares how his nonprofit, LifeByMusic.org, empowers at-risk youth and military veterans through music education, reinforcing the power of resilience, persistence, and learning from mistakes.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, or creative, this conversation will inspire you to push past failure and take the risks necessary for real success.

Key Takeaways

🔥 Fear of failure holds you back – If you avoid risks, you avoid growth.
🎸 Musicians and entrepreneurs share a mindset – Both require resilience, adaptability, and learning from mistakes.
💡 Failure is a stepping stone to success – Every mistake teaches a valuable lesson.
🚀 Confidence comes from persistence – The more you push through challenges, the stronger you become.
🎶 Music education builds resilience – LifeByMusic.org helps at-risk youth and veterans gain confidence and new skills.

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that, except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
