Freedom to Fail
On Freedom to Fail, Kyle Bringhurst interviews successful entrepreneurs and people about the unsuccessful times in their lives. This podcast was inspired by entrepreneurs who are not afraid to acknowledge that success only comes after overcoming fears and learning from our failures. Freedom to Fail is for those who have dreams of starting a business or reaching your goals but have been held back by their fears. It was created to give YOU an inside look into these failures and learn the skills they use to move forward in the face of uncertainty, so that YOU can do the same.

Episode 049 - Surviving a Plane Crash w/ Betsy Mikesell (Beddy's)
This episode with Betsy Mikesell has been a year and a half in the making. We were initially scheduled to have the interview last March, but Covid happened. Then we rescheduled for August, but also had to cancel that because she and some of her family actually were in a plane crash. They all survived, but now face injuries and recoveries that may last a lifetime. During the first few months after the crash, her company, Beddy's, actually was thriving because earlier that year she had established systems that would allow her to step back, if needed. Unfortunately, she needed to, but it was thanks to this smart planning that allowed her company to still push forward without her needing to be hands on.
Listen to this week's episode to learn all about how she and her family are bouncing back from the plane crash, and see how she set her business up to be successful without her having to be there all the time (every entrepreneur's dream).
