Anna Haotanto: Founder Ordeals, Failure Stigma & Financial Security - E88

Anna Haotanto on founder ordeals, dismantling the stigma of failure, and why financial security is a founder's secret weapon.

"I think there's a lot of clarification about the success stories like Elon Musk, Jack Ma, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, all these people who gave up a lot or dropped out of school, and suffered, and they attained this unattainable riches. I think people don't talk about failures enough, especially in Asia, you're not supposed to say how much you failed, or how you failed because it's such a disgrace. I totally disagree with that because if you don't talk about failures other people will never learn, they will make the same mistakes all over again, and again. Because the truth is, most of us, we make the same mistakes, we face the same obstacles." - Anna Haotanto
