BEYOND THE CIRCLE - The Beauty of Failure
In the summer of 2013, Matt attempted to row, sail and drag a 17.5-foot open boat across 3000 miles of ice choked waterway known as the North West Passage. After 41 days of the coldest summer in decades having covered 1500 miles Matt and his team mate Cameron were unable to continue due to the severe conditions.
After 2 years of planning preparation and hard work both Matt and Cam struggled to deal with this looked upon failure…But with Failure comes opportunity and incredible learning.
Failure is inevitable in all aspects of life but how we process, analyze and learn from failure is a skill.
Matt looks at failure through a positive lens and challenges the audience to embrace failure, learn from failure and most importantly thrive from failure
