Episode 8: Lemons into lemonade – Turning the hardships that life throws at you into gains. Bittersweet – How failures of the past can lead to success today; Putting a demand on your problems; The Seduction of Instant gratification – Is it worth it? Lemon

In this episode, we discuss how to leverage problems and the issues life throws your way and how they can serve for your good. We look at examples of how a crisis can empower organizations and people to be creative and then take a close look at how the major sports leagues have succeeded in this area. We talk about how a lot of successes today stemmed from failures in the past. We discuss the enticements that temptation and short-term gratification present and balance that with the value of being disciplined and following protocol. We veer into the world of the foodie and discuss $150,000 wings and somehow find ourselves spilling the beans on African parents and their affinity for stacking the fridge with home cooked food.
