Episode 53: Next Gen Actuaries with Siddhant Gandhi
“I'm good at failing; I fail well. I like to encourage people to embrace failures. Your failures don't define you. Don't let your failures bog you down. It's the learning from each failure that defines you.
As long as you're learning from your past mistakes and failures, you're improving and making progress, and you will reach your goal.”
