Manage episode 502593578 series 3593550
💡When failure becomes a checkpoint instead of a dead end, it reveals itself as progress in disguise.
❓What would change in your life if you embraced failure as a checkpoint of progress instead of a sign to stop?
In this Fireside Chat, we sit down with Tom Franchi—ADHD adult, storyteller, and creative spirit—who shares his journey of burnout, resilience, and finding peace with his ADHD. From reframing failure as growth to exploring radical self-acceptance, Tom opens up about what it means to build a life that celebrates spontaneity, creativity, and the fire of passion that ADHD can bring.
