Episode #27: What’s Wrong with Being Wrong?

Summary: On this episode of the ACT to Live podcast, Scott and Jaime discuss the topic of making mistakes. Through their discussions, they come to the realization that it is not the mistake that matters, but the way in which we respond to our mistakes that can truly impact our ability to learn and grow. The duo then talks about some of their own personal experiences making and learning from their mistakes.  ACTion Event of the Week: Next time you find yourself thinking “I was wrong” or “I made a mistake,” try congratulating yourself for being human!
