07 ~ Turning failure into feedback

Brand Seasons

Welcome to today's episode of The Brand Seasons Podcast. I'm your host, designer, mentor and writer, Sarah Robertson, and I’m excited to say that we’re very close to the launch of the Brand Seasons Playdeck.

This is a pocket-sized deck of cards designed to support you with strategy, styling and storytelling, and make the branding process more playful. The product will be available for you to back on Kickstarter from the 16th of September, so be sure to follow me on Instagram @thesearethedays.co or subscribe to my Brand Seasons publication on Substack for updates, and join the launch waitlist to be the first to know when the campaign goes live.

Today on the podcast, we're exploring something that everyone has experienced at some point—failure.

I want to talk about transforming failure into feedback, and touch on how shifting our idea of success can shape the way we navigate triumphs and setbacks. I hope you enjoy listening to the episode where I explore:

• Embracing setbacks as opportunities for growth and reflection
• Taking risks and celebrating the effort, regardless of the outcome
• Recognising that failure and success are interconnected and can coexist
• Adjusting business practices to accommodate chronic illness
• Embracing the possibility of failure to reduce its impact

Podcasts mentioned:

• Letters from a Hopeful Creative with Jen Carrington and Sara Tasker
• Off the Grid ~ Success is a Cycle with Amelia Hruby

This season of the podcast is sponsored by Saorsa Psychology.

In Gaelic, Saorsa means 'freedom'—serving as a beacon for those eager to amplify their impact in the world, in a grounded and gentle way.

Freedom lies in being bold, and if you’re looking for deeper meaning, you can carve your own path with a combination of coaching and psychology, where you'll be guided through the wood, the trees and the spaces in between.
