Flop-to-Fame Move!

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow. I quit my soccer team to start a YouTube channel—total personal growth chaos! At first, cringe flops and mean comments crushed me. But sticking with it taught me overcoming fear, editing hustle, and confidence boost vibes. Now? I mentor new creators. Regret to redemption, baby! #FailForward"

Every stumble teaches, every setback shapes you. Don’t fear the fall—embrace it, learn, rise stronger. Success is built on resilience. #FailForward #RiseAgain #ImmersiveSpirit

Ah, the age-old wisdom of "learning in public" because who doesn't want to fail spectacularly in front of a crowd? Giles is here to save the day with his #time-traveling blog, hopping from 2024 to 2025 like a caffeinated kangaroo. Spoiler alert: reading about posting blogs is almost as riveting as watching paint dry.

*If you’ve never failed, you’ve never truly tried. You’ve never truly lived for your dreams.*

Failure isn’t something to fear—it’s something to embrace. It’s proof that you’re pushing boundaries, taking risks, and growing stronger with every step. Every stumble is a lesson, every fall is progress.

So, dare to fail. Dare to feel it. And dare to rise again. Because a life without failure is a life without truly living.

Mistakes are proof that you're learning! Embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. What’s a lesson you learned from a mistake? #FailForward #LessonsLearned

You know what's underrated in project management? Failing on purpose. Yes, you read that right! Testing insane ideas & letting them blow up teaches more than any seminar. In failure, you'll find the magic of innovation. #ProjectManagement #Innovation #FailForward

# Opsec Fail-Forward

@catsalad just found a screenshot of that time I outed myself publicly...twice

Context: Cat's initial post was public, so my replies were also public by default I thought these were DMs because I was half-awake and flustered This was the first time we had really spoken about anything, but it became quickly obvious that we both had already had crushes on the each other for some time

So, without further ado: "My Best OpSec Fails" aka "How I Met Cat".

Have you ever hit a roadblock and felt like giving up? Remember, every failure is just a step closer to success. In my latest post I dive into why failing is the key to growing. #FailForward #GrowthMindset

Having fun experimenting with multi-material printing! Used clear filament embedded in opaque to see how light would move through it. Unfortunately, not as far as I hoped. On the flip side, I was afraid that the 3 sections might fall apart as soon as I removed it, but it all held together! Two unexpected results, but valuable lessons I can use going forward.
