Last month I had the pleasure of attending the 2nd annual Failure Wake held by SFU’s “social innovation lab” known as Radius. I’ve become increasingly aware of developments there through several projects I’ve worked on with some of the faculty at Beedie School of Business including visual summaries and animations. I’ve been impressed by their “RADIcal ideas , Useful to Society.”
Radius lined up a radical group of speakers for this event, in which they shared stories of their entrepreneurial failures and reflected on lessons learned from them, all of which I captured live with the following sketchnotes.
I found each of these speakers inspiring as they reminded me of the importance of taking risks, following your passion and believing in yourself. When all is said and done , your failures are only stepping stones to future success, and the more of them you can have the better! I think these sketch notes offer a glimpse into each of the speakers stories and what I took away. I’d be happy to hear if you have any reactions yourself.
I’m also taking this opportunity to work on my blog a bit and have invested in a new plugin for showing off my art called, ilightbox. So far I love it though it seems it will take awhile to really exploit this to the fullest.
I’ll be looking to host most of my images on this domain from now on, but also have a backlog of pictures floating around on various social media sites that I feel need to be moved over at some point.
