Failing Forward: Lessons in Style and Business

Carmin explained how her business, Half United, faced a setback due to a manufacturing defect that resulted in a lawsuit. She realized that the failure was not solely due to external factors but also stemmed from her own decisions and priorities.
Similarly, Sherry Black shared her experiences of encountering obstacles and setbacks in her career as an interior and furniture designer.

However, she emphasized the importance of embracing failure and using it as a learning experience.
