      Every Time I Talk About Depression – Being Brave by @ChrisBrogan

      Sometimes, I tweet about being depressed, or I post to some various social network about how depression stinks. In those moments, the same thing happens, and I realized that I haven’t been very clear in what I’m trying to say when I want to talk to you about depression. I’m trying to share something very specific.

      Fail forward, fail fast, fail often. All bits of advice we get on the glamorization of failure. Failure is learning. Failure leads to success. Failure makes you stronger. Failure is only bad if you don’t learn from it.

      Kris Colvin - Today, my little world changed.

      I have a lot of friends in the social media “industry” for want of a better word. Guru’s, experts, speakers, creators, leaders… some better friends than others. Some I have met, many I have not yet met in person, given they are not near Kansas City and life has conspired to mainly keep me here the last few years.
