Episode 12: Overcoming the Fear of Failure

February 07, 2017

Getting over the fear of failure. As academics, we are inherently perfectionists. There's nothing like applying for jobs to bring out those tendencies. In this episode, we discuss our fear of failure, what causes it, and how we got over our fear.

And Ian makes us laugh hysterically over an extended metaphor.
