Risking Failure
Summary: A project developed to explore conversations and ideas of ordinary people leading "so-called ordinary lives". The show focuses on topics such as various human experiences of authentic living, mindfulness, vulnerability, spirituality, ethics, morality, work, play, entrepreneurship, travel, meditation, love, relationships and subjects and ideas that bring growth. The project was developed by co-hosts Mark Dobson (aka Dobbo) and Mick Dunn, and seeks to expand beyond the personal development industry, to access the remarkable ideas and actions of everyday thinkers who have profound insights and experiences to share.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year and THANK YOU for being a part of this project in 2014! It’s been our first full calendar year, so in this episode we revisited an earlier episode about “Goals”, last years “New Year Plans” and more… If you’ve been following along, then much of this will make […]
How do you know when you should quit, when you should already have quit and at what point to quit something in the future? This week, we talked about the fear of doing something (for years) that was destined for “average”, and the fear of wasting away a decade or more of your life working […]
In this week’s conversation, we explored a topic that quite honestly should have come up a LOT earlier! The angst we carry through almost every moment of our day is not only crippling at times, but can often feel “lame” that we have the feeling in the first place. Could this be an experience that […]
In this week’s show, Dobbo “had a little chat” with Mick about how the fixed and consistent weekly upload pattern has dropped off? Why? What’s been going on? Is Risking Failure dropping in priority? We talked about what might seem like the topic of “overwhelm” which we’ve covered before – but it was actually more […]

In this episode Dobbo, Mick & ML talked about the very broad subject of relationships. But we doubled down on romantic relationships specifically, and discussed “the stories we tell oursevles” about them. What do we tell ourselves about; – Marriage – Making relationships work – Finding a soul mate – What a successful relationship is […]
This week’s show is part 2 of the vulnerability episode we had last week (you can checkout part 1 here). Please hold on, as part 2 is better than part 1 (Just like all the great duo’s and trilogies!!) Of course, we all thought this conversation was a load of bullocks at the time, but […]
This episode is a 2 part subject on the topic of vulnerability. ML joined us again to offer a bit more of an even take on this subject… And also because all three of us have done a fair bit of thinking on this subject. Not surprisingly, this topic is largely inspired or drawn from […]
Whether it is turning vegan, losing weight, waking up early, meditating, doing more art or just being more productive… We cover that stuff that you know how to do, or want to do – but you don’t. So what are those things that you really like to do but just don’t do it?
