In this featured speaker session at the New England Podcasters Group meetup, we welcomed the wildly witty and wonderfully real Ben Currier – host of the Failure Guy podcast and self-proclaimed “world’s number one failure.” 💥
Ben lit up the room (and our creative spirits) with his session: “Fail It ‘Til You Nail It.”
He shared how his journey through repeated job losses, awkward experiments, and hilarious missteps led him to unexpected wins—including becoming a 4-time Microsoft Excel MVP and beloved podcast host.
In this talk, you’ll hear:
- Why “fail it till you nail it” beats “fake it till you make it”
- The true (and funny!) story behind his failure-themed license plate
- How to embrace the messy middle of podcasting and still keep going
- Why podcasting is an emotional rollercoaster—and how to ride it with humor and grit
- A unique tip to promote your podcast using IMDb!
Whether you’re in a podcast slump, struggling to grow your show, or just feeling like an imposter, Ben’s refreshing honesty and practical advice will lift your spirits and keep you laughing.
