Failure as a Paradigm Shift: Why Setbacks Shape the ACT Stage of LEAP
In this episode of the LIMITLESS Podcast, Rod and Kerry dig deep into why failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s the process that creates it.
Anchored in the ACT stage of the LEAP framework, they explore how taking action inevitably brings setbacks, and how reframing those moments as teachers can transform your growth journey.
Through mountaineering close-calls, marathon lessons, and stories of both professional and personal failures, Rod and Kerry share candidly about what they’ve learned: humility, resilience, grit, and the power of the comeback. Alongside their own experiences, they weave in research from Carol Dweck (Mindset), Angela Duckworth (Grit), Jim Murphy (Inner Excellence), and Jim Whittaker (A Life on the Edge).
The conversation also touches on legendary climbs like Meru, strongman competition setbacks, and why the mountain will always be there tomorrow. The episode closes with a guided mindfulness exercise, helping listeners reflect on their own “mountain” and find meaning in the climb.
If you’ve ever turned back short of your goal, felt the sting of missing a target by seconds, or wrestled with the fear of trying at all, this conversation will challenge, comfort, and inspire you to keep climbing.
