How to Get a Return on Failure With Dr. John Maxwell

How to Get a Return on Failure With Dr. John Maxwell

Season 1 | Episode 9

John Maxwell & Todd Mullins - June 08, 2026

In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with leadership expert and best-selling author, Dr. John Maxwell.

Episode Notes

We talked about one of life's most universal experiences: failure. John reminded me that failure isn't the problem — it's how we respond to it that matters. Too often, our tendency is to try to erase our mistakes, but when we erase the failure, we erase the lesson with it.

We also talked about the power of taking action and then making adjustments along the way.

If you've ever felt discouraged by a mistake, a missed opportunity, or a season that didn't go as planned, this conversation will help you see failure differently — and give you the courage to keep moving forward.
