I mentioned his episode the other day, but I really liked Matt May's episode of “My Favorite Mistake.” It's an opportunity to better get to know an author you may know… somebody I've interviewed on my Lean Blog Interviews podcast before.
Before he started teaching at the University of Toyota, he had pursued an acting career, appearing on a soap opera. Yes, that's right. Was that a mistake? Was moving to Los Angeles a mistake?
As it tends to go with “favorite mistakes,” he learned from them and things turned out for the best.
Beyond Matt's personal stories, we talk about creating an environment at work where it's safe to talk about mistakes.
And here are Matt's episodes with me from the Lean podcast:
