Embrace failure for success and profit

Jonathan Siegel
Rackspace
About the talk:

To entrepreneurs failure is an enigma: a necessary evil and an unrecoverable misadventure. In reality, most roads lead to failure and only after multiple attempts do entrepreneurs (and their companies) find a successful path. I'm here to share stories of success--through successive failures. And how truly embracing failure has made my ongoing ventures more profitable.
