| Backable With Suneel Gupta | 16 Mar 2021 | 00:32:18 | |
Whenever you’re faced with what looks like a massive failure, you can either be an ostrich and bury your head in the sand or be a peacock and say, “I’m owning this.” That is what Suneel Gupta, the founder of RISE and author of Backable, learned from his experience.

You’ll be surprised how deceptively simple the answer is. Join in as he shares some of it with John Livesay.
