As we strive to identify our passions, experimenting in different settings often helps us uncover them. Yet, a fear of failure could prevent us from taking these risks and limit our potential for exploration. Could this fear be what stands between you and your dream?

Cass Phillipps, the founder of FailCon, dives into her TEDx Talk to describe how our fear of failure can halt us from exploring and discovering what we love.
