“If you fail at something it means you’re trying and you’re growing and you’re working. And every time you fail at something you know that you’re pushing yourself – which is good. The last thing I want to do is go through a year without failing a hundred times. Because if you haven’t failed a hundred times, you’re not pushing yourself hard enough.” -Jack Conte
