For some entrepreneurs, failure is a badge of honor, while for others it’s taboo. Regardless, failure is a part of reality amongst startups and it’s a topic that’s been examined at length in Kansas City’s entrepreneurial community.
KCUR’s Up To Date recently hosted Startland editor-in-chief Bobby Burch, Pipeline Inc. CEO Joni Cobb and CEED co-founder Adam Arredondo for a discussion on failure among startups. Below is audio from the conversation. Special thanks to KCUR for sharing its content.
