Once the episode gets rolling, the Dynamic Duo of Dreamcatching do their damnedest to prove that Failing Forward is not necessarily a bad thing.

Tonight’s lessons learned touch on how Failing helps you figure out how to succeed or, at the very least, decide what you should not be doing…whether it be in business, investments, or your relationships.

Surprise guest DaDenMan (of the No Agenda Stream) calls in to lend his military-trained views on Failure.  Soon after, Mordant gives homework…yes, homework.  This TOSOL “Fight Club” challenge is issued at the very end of the episode…just as McFall is called away on “Family Duties.”  A blindsided and somewhat disoriented Mordant does a little Failing Forward of his own, ending the show all by his lonesome.

Mordant & Charles begin the festivities by trading barbs about gift-giving choices for the little woman.  Then, in front of an in-studio audience of one, namely @ItsKeerstin, the men of TOSOL explore Chapter 2 from Double Your Income Doing What You Love.  Using Raymond Aaron’s Annual Love Letters method of “yelling” at each other, they unearth their uncensored lists of what they truly love in this world.

The atmosphere soon becomes optimistically charged when MxM (that’s Mordant & McFall) share “Success Stories” about themselves and a few choice people they know.  Somehow proving that they get to keep their “man cards” and the future.
