Songs from the "F SiDE" of my Album

the UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast

WARNING: IF F-WORDS LIKE FAILURE, FAILING, FUCKUPS, OR FUCKED IT UP OFFEND YOU; THIS EPISODE MAY NOT BE FOR YOU ... BUT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STILL LISTEN TO IT.
I recently had the privilege of speaking at an event in my local community called "FuckUp Nights." This episode is based on what I shared that night.

These community events encourage and challenge us to share and think about our failures as a way of touching our humanity and entering into the lessons that we can learn, not from our success, but by publicly sharing and talking about our failings and failures.

As I prepared to speak, I asked myself these questions: "if I am going to share some significant failures and failings in my life, what should I share? Why would I share them? And how would I do it in a creative and thought-provoking way?

From those questions emerged this idea: when I was a teenager, I loved albums, vinyl albums at the time. And, back then, those albums had an "A SIDE" and a "B SIDE."

The "B SIDE" contained songs that were not as popular, but the "B SIDE" often had some pretty fantastic music on it as well. And here is the truth, everybody's got a "B SIDE" of their story, of the "album" of their life. I have one, and you have one. But, on social media, on LinkedIn, you will only hear and see our "A-SIDE." You will only hear and see our success side. You're not going to hear about my failures, and I won't hear about yours.

So, in this episode, as I did that night in front of over a hundred people, I will explore and share the "B SIDE," or in this case, we're going to call it the "F SiDE" of my life, the "F SiDE" of my album. The "FUCKUP" side of my album: 7 song titles reflecting on seven significant moments of failure in my life and the one crucial challenge for all who are honest enough to admit we have an "F SiDE" on our album.
