Learning from Failure, Not Filters: My First Encounter with Codie Sanchez

I thought I’d take a moment to not bash #Nextdoor and Nirav Tolia for doing the opposite of what the platform's co-founder's mission statement is.  Nirav, you can take a breath.

Between the scrolls, dogs, cats, and other brainless videos on the #Facebook and the Tikky Tokky, I came across the following:

I had never heard of Codie Sanchez before (LinkedIn Profile - https://www.linkedin.com/in/codiesanchez/), and I am grateful the algorithm pushed one of several short reels my way.  I felt as if Yoda was speaking to me directly.

The reel above resonated with me:

-          Why would I take relationship advice from someone who has bounced in and out of relationships and not stuck with one in good times and bad

-          I do want to learn from someone who isn’t afraid of failing, has learned from failure, and hasn’t repeated it

-          I’d rather be told where I missed the mark, versus being coddled to protect my feelings.  I don’t grow from being protected

-          Having an impartial ear keeps me accountable without any bias

Have you heard of her?  I’m going to pick up a book, listen to podcasts, and hopefully come across more reels between the pitbulls wearing Christmas pajamas reels.
