015. FAIL FAST & PIVOT QUICKLY

Today I’m going to share a recent challenge we faced – a mishap that occurred just a while ago. We learned some valuable lessons about the importance of resilience and agility in content creation. Whether like us you create weekly content, you are a business owner, or just someone who appreciates a look behind the scenes, I hope you’ll find this story hugely valuable.... To paint the picture, last Thursday, I woke up early, at about 5.30. I was the first up and it was still very dark outside. I sat in the kitchen, and I updated the website to add the links to our latest weekly podcast episode. It felt good to have that done early, before our newsletter went out, which is always scheduled for Thursdays at about 6.30am.  Just after 8am, I received a WhatsApp message from a friend, which read “Listening to your podcast. Might you have uploaded a draft?”, I asked what she meant and then I listened to the morning’s podcast episode … and remember this is a globally listened to podcast of thousands each week … and it was clear, the original, unedited version had accidently been uploaded … I hope you enjoy hearing how we failed fast and pivoted very quickly and I hope our journey and the ten steps we took to pivot help you hugely going forwards.  https://www.philippacraddock.com/podcast-015
