Listen: How does Kansas City regard failure?

October 23, 2015  |  Startland News Staff

Failure, fail

In the entrepreneurial world, the word “failure” takes many definitions.

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.

How do you define failure? Does Kansas City regard failure appropriately or do we as a city have work to do? Let us know in the comments below!
