But Racking up a few fails
is the surest sign your

for 3 simple reasons.
✹ № 1 ✹
CELEBRATE
THE TRYINGS.
Don your best ballgown, tux, or old prom dress & let this be be your gold-gilded reminder that you’re doing great, sweetie. After all, failure is an inevitable side effect of effort — and effort is always worth celebrating.

REVEL IN THE
FAILINGS.
Duck under the velvet rope & listen in as industry leaders spill their most shameful secrets and massive fails. This is a mansion full of business owners & whole humans you admire, giving tell-all toasts to their biggest f*ckups.

RAISE THE
MONEY-ING.
Sip, snack & silent auction your way to donations for To Write Love on Her Arms, an American nonprofit that invests in hope, treatment & recovery for folks navigating tricky mental health matters. Because taking care of business starts with caring for our brains.
Failure isn’t
something to fear.
(And gosh, it is not shameful.)
It’s concrete proof that we’re putting in the effort. And it’s undiluted, potent ambition that deserves to be celebrated.
It’s simply an inevitable byproduct of dreaming at a scale that’s worth our time.
✹ Item № 1 Of Our Manifesto ✹
Sharing dissolves shame
& community is a balm
for embarrassment.
