0:53
around world to do just that
1:03
when
1:03
was kid growing up chiapas mexico

pepe the toro was kind of in all
1:07
of his dad he could sell your rocks
1:10
much , members even
1:12
as early as eight years old he would spend
1:14
his school vacations sitting the back
1:16
seat his dad's car driving around
1:18
bumped the back rows of chiapas selling
1:21
stuff and i was super shy
1:23
i am the joke my family they say
1:26
that until was eighteen years old lady
1:28
and zoc which is gonna truth assess
1:30
on my dad would have to tell me in general
1:32
go ahead and se thought that was like
1:35

1:37
to worry selling well
1:40
my dad sold everything from
1:42
tomatoes two motorcycles
1:44
two motorcycles him etc
1:47
it leads are very very very long list
1:49
and unease drives his normally silent
1:51
dad would talk to him about his latest
1:53
ventures the
1:55
was kind person you could see a problem in
1:57
the world and immediately think of way to turn
1:59
into is this
2:01
one day we were travelling it was long
2:04
trip and told him for can all these
2:06
potholes the road and you know
2:08
they're mainly potholes in this but since
2:10
and he told me like you know where i found
2:13
these my seen these trucks
2:16
to feel potholes so
2:19
it it can be big for us as family
2:21
and you use your dad being
2:24
super proud and excited
2:27
about an opportunity that
2:30
bought the machine with his own money he
2:32
had made this big investment and then
2:34
he never filled single pothole
2:36
he could not find anyone pay him to actually
2:38
do it so he was so
2:41
ashamed buying be seen and
2:43
them to thing was just barack those
2:45
who house here not being used
2:48
that he never talked about it when people
2:50
with a hey as embassy which is pretended it wasn't
2:52
there yeah has six like
2:54
me failure
2:56
was these massive taboo when
2:58
i grew up
3:00
you see the story of my
3:03
family and need so
3:05
full of failures so many of dad's
3:07
big plans they would inch right
3:09
up to the edge of success only to
3:11
fall apart at last minute
3:13
like the time he secured big loan from the
3:15
state bank which is really hard to get for small
3:18
business owner for a poor state but
3:20
then he had some trouble paying the debt so
3:22
he went back to the bank to talk to the manager
3:25
and he got so i agreed with the regional
3:27
managers that he took him
3:29
by the next and
3:32
a little bit violent physically
3:35
with the manager of bank so
3:37
the obviously put in negotiated with that person
3:40
anymore
3:46
my dad couldn't separate the
3:49
concept , failure from
3:51
being a loser loser you're responsible
3:54
for bringing food and money him
3:57
he'd you're gonna do that you're that loser view you're
3:59
worthless
4:00
that they get older being loser
4:03
was the thing that he was determined to avoid
4:05
i remembered many
4:07
of these conversations solve my
4:10
parents telling me you
4:12
should become an engineer
4:14
because that way you will have salary
4:16
so petty went college and studied
4:18
physics to become an engineer it
4:20
on his last semester he happened see flyer
4:23
for competition to invent business
4:27
there was something you seen his father do a lot of times
4:30
knew that he wasn't interested that fight
4:32
it's a free trip panorama that was
4:34
my motivation assistance as
4:36
and i joined the team and mostly
4:39
physicists creating a business
4:41

and entered this whole other world
4:53
where he met people his own age
4:55

4:58

not long after he discovered the word
8:06
entrepreneur in panama
8:08
the baby toro found himself in mexico city

8:13
was just getting started that was a very
8:15
small group of , maybe
8:18
hundred people couple of hundred people wow

that's my job that like people who call themselves
8:22

8:26
thousands tens of thousands of people in mexico
8:28
city with started their own businesses obviously
8:31
that are amazing entrepreneurs
8:33
in mexico in doing
8:35
more traditional types of businesses the
8:37
weight pepper uses word entrepreneur
8:40
it's people with ideas mostly
8:43
tech ideas who went to scale
8:45
up
8:46
like i'm gonna do the mexican where
8:48
he i'm gonna do their columbia and
8:50
scooter accompanied by then sell those companies
8:53
to the us we you always
8:55
hear the same stories of the
8:59
they
8:59
would take his long walks or mexico city
9:01
wondering what his big idea could be
9:04
finally he came up with it the
9:06
online source of local news that would expose
9:08
corruption and other problems that the mexican
9:11
papers weren't writing about because
9:13
they don't want to cross people in power soap
9:15
pet they would get writers who were citizen
9:17
journalists
9:18
and even up have a had never run paper
9:21
before he was just a kid basically with
9:23
physics degree in had no investors
9:25
know capital except his credit cards he
9:27
managed to get people really excited about
9:29
this idea i started convincing people
9:32
the join the team without salary
9:36
and we started going and going and after
9:38
more than a year to my surprise
9:40
he'd started working we were getting
9:42
to a thousand active
9:45
writers within year they launched hard copy
9:47
the paper that was sold by blind people
9:49
we had a couple of be fully inferred
9:51
guys a or blind
9:54
guys as they prefer and
9:56
i remember we were selling
9:58
enough park hearing
10:00
there's a mix it with it it's i'm
10:02
by the end of day they used to say that the
10:04
wow we have so much money that
10:07
, tried everything get the company to
10:09
make money money tried to sell ads
10:11
start to drum up subscriptions for
10:13
two years he burned through savings max
10:16
that his credit cards until finally
10:18
to tell everyone the ideas flopped
10:20
other writers all the editors ah the web
10:22
designers believed in decision one
10:25
of the blind sellers that she tried cheer
10:27
him up cheer said that it on worried
10:29
he was great that i was getting that higher income
10:31
pod
10:32
okay and then the guy as one
10:34
more thing anyways i was
10:37
getting extorted by
10:39
their street mafias of mexico
10:41
city weights so you are
10:44
you end up realizing you supporting a
10:46
mafia mafia economy
10:49
yet at the other day part of our efforts
10:52
was going to the pocket says
10:54
corrupt people who and damascus
10:58
so i felt like loser
11:00
because i'm a few breeze i decided
11:03
to come here save the world in
11:05
i know realized that i have no
11:07
idea i was doing am
11:10
so it was it was of
11:12
shame i decided to
11:14
put it under the rug try
11:18
to avoid the conversation the
11:20
company organ and , seemed
11:23
familiar to story your dad with piece
11:25
of heavy machinery parked outside he
11:27
doesn't want to talk about exactly and
11:29
my just decided to hide it like
11:32
people with the our what happened the project than
11:34
i would say things that yeah well did
11:36
word but now i'm doing this so then
11:38
did you can have not talked about for
11:41
yeah for at least three years or so than
11:44
and then
11:46
one day we went out for dinner
11:49
it
11:50
was just hang out with friends he's
11:52
out with friends they are drinking having
11:54
many miss colors
11:56
someone said what would happen if we
11:58
shared our fate
12:00
someone as the idea they say hey let's go
12:02
round the table and just share this story of
12:04
our worst failure i thought it was
12:06
like this really weird idea
12:09
assessing seniors failure with
12:11
thing he'd always avoided talking about or
12:15
if he talked about it he would always talk
12:17
about in the context of is present success
12:19
just like he'd read about these stories
12:22
of entrepreneurs in the magazines from silicon
12:24
valley yes i would say things that
12:26
yeah well he didn't work but now i'm doing this
12:28
failure was just a stepping stone
12:30
now his friend telling him now so
12:32
the real story
12:34
because we we had many mysql as
12:36
we said let's try it and
12:39
we shared each one of us our
12:41
most relevant senior that was that
12:43
room
12:44
then it while it became
12:46
these magical conversation because
12:49
we last week
12:52
super funny stories
12:54
and also we cried of
12:56
we've dramatic stories and
12:59
i connected weed
13:02
part of my so that didn't want to
13:04
acknowledge and what did i
13:06
feel like weird
13:10
i mean it it's weird to
13:12
cry in front of your friends for the first
13:14
time your business partners it
13:17
is weird too
13:20
feel these super deep level
13:22
of connection that
13:24
i thought i could only feel with my
13:26
girlfriend for example so
13:29
it felt cathartic in
13:31
cathartic very good way and
13:34
now i can describe it now i can put some
13:36
words that i feel comfortable to
13:38
explain the feeling at that moment
13:40
was just like wow like an open
13:42
mouth of what's happening here this is so powerful
13:45
him
13:46
that we decided to just invite more
13:48
friends to see they also like these
13:51
crazy idea of
13:53
listening to other people failures
13:55
am
13:58
a feminist is see if
14:00
don't want go from our the name is decided
14:02
to give this storytelling that failure there
14:04
was his friend to them came up with the name he went
14:06
to college in the us came we
14:08
were speaking were speaking but he said
14:11
that's of
14:13
we can actually play the name of this night
14:15
or if we do play the name them going
14:17
have to put a big he for explicit on
14:20
the episode it did a word like
14:22
screw up but not screw
14:24
that about so
14:26
that was the one english word he said otherwise
14:29
yep we're very
14:31
cultured people at sister
14:35
may was like a blow this is how it is worth of
14:37
you know mulligan as yes for like on cancer people
14:39
loved it i love hearing these stories
14:42
and they came back for second night
14:44
and then third and in some ways
14:46
this seen it looked like something that you could
14:48
find in the bay area or
14:51
anywhere the telling stories failures become
14:53
trend now so us than a lot of the even the crowd
14:55
that showed up here with their graphic
14:57
tees in their designer eyeglasses
14:59
sipping draft beer they would not seem
15:01
out of place the
15:04
says were trying to do something
15:06
different yeah the silicon valley type
15:08
of conversation is always
15:11
let's talk about failure because it's because taboo
15:13
it's cool to talk about it it's
15:16
tactical right it's about always saying
15:18
it to success you fail
15:20
in this with your rocket five times
15:22
but then you have a billion dollar company and
15:25
you're so successful in
15:27
in the cover of magazines and
15:29
day other type of conversations
15:31
is conversations personal one
15:33
the nights of talking honestly
15:36
about failure they were not just a hit in mexico
15:38
city six months after they started
15:40
that moved to bigger venue
15:42
two months after that they got an email from
15:44
spain spain was a big one
15:47
they wanted start something like this to and
15:49
then other countries in latin america argentina
15:51
exploded columbia and
15:54
then germany the netherlands
15:57
switzerland and their own little bit different
16:01
in nice france there's an expression
16:03
that if you screw ups you can
16:05
we seize the day at the beach
16:08
in tokyo the steaks of admitting
16:10
any kind of failure are much are much
16:13
power mistake long instead that
16:15
who you like we'll tell you what
16:17
can polar ice so just getting
16:19
people to stand up on stage and tell any
16:21
story sell your could feel almost radical
16:24
failure is kind of bomb stone
16:26
in toronto exposed not
16:28
only note how you have failed but how
16:30
your failure has affected others
16:32
my three other leaders are
16:34
there and they're telling me all
16:37
them and same weeks have ended
16:39
the relationship for the significant others
16:41
because they decided that they just didn't have time
16:44
to have relationship and
16:46
i remember hearing than hearing was so sauce
16:49
and was like wow what
16:51
kind of founder am i what kind of leader
16:54
amyas when my whole team
16:56
is not taking care of themselves
16:58
the end up listening to these stories of failure taught
17:01
us to things what is
17:03
that there are a lot ways to
17:05
fail better
17:07
, to take off a celebration is
17:10
going back was anyone super months
17:13
came crashing down for his live
17:15
they were silent after
17:18
it has like abiding
17:19
and second these nights are about a
17:21
lot more than just self reflection and
17:23
catharsis this failure nights around
17:25
the world have
17:30
a much bigger why your kiwi the question

18:14
after talking failure nice sounders
18:16
around world we got interested
18:18
in this one city which is what
18:20
the most recent cities to start a
18:22
failure night actually so my
18:24
name is satsuma on that issue
18:26
when fatima learned about pepys project
18:28
she was immediately like we
18:30
need this in lagos in nigeria
18:33
though i were to them and
18:35
, i want to be a part of the group and
18:39
if he wants states as sandy francis agreements
18:42
what started all those years ago in mexico
18:44
city has now become franchise
18:46
each time someone wants to organize failure
18:48
night around world they can pay pepys
18:51
company see
18:52
they get marketing to get training
18:54
how to coach the speakers and
18:57
they get to use the name you know
18:59
screw up that outskirts so
19:02
one of challenge i have
19:04
so people don't like the name of
19:06
for countries like iraq iran
19:08
the
19:09
un the acronyms is
19:11
it special exemption for conservative
19:14
countries if it is the
19:17
get to do that here i'm allowed to
19:19
therefore the seer for one year
19:21
only sees a few and
19:23
the we see how he goes so
19:25
yeah so yeah the failure
19:27
thing is that your main income
19:31
evan and any comments as you and name's
19:34
physicist
19:35
price people ask so how do you think that make
19:37
money from his associates was so angry
19:39
y u s kiwi their courses i don't know
19:41
yes well
19:42
this is his form an interview that amazon
19:45
is printer
19:49
they
19:50
goes in one way is an extremely
19:52
entrepreneurial city i've been there
19:54
i used to be the east africa correspondent for npr
19:57
and i would meet lot of nigerians
19:59
had moved back the spending time in the west
20:01
just start adventure
20:02
the team says that even though lagos
20:04
is a city twenty million people it
20:06
can feel in some ways like a small town
20:09
there's
20:10
all the social pressure from elders
20:12
to follow their path for
20:14
you see honest as a business on your own
20:17
sometimes is deemed as be rude
20:19
and good the economy doesn't even promotes
20:21
you have and business the
20:24
law has this tax the
20:27
delays he said puts on into print is
20:29
seekers thats one day and in next
20:31
me to say that all your sign is is not
20:33
supposed to be there and they are no papa
20:35
laws that will really guide you the
20:38
and then see if anyone prepare for
20:40
this thing sid caesar difficult involvements
20:43
reedy is quite hostile full
20:45
and subpoenas suits wise here
20:48
so how did the sound is connect to you
20:50
then wanting to start tests as
20:52
you and nice in lagos so
20:56
it wasn't like
20:57
support group who fall
20:59
into printers then
21:01
give an incense universities
21:04
shared a house seems one as soon
21:06
city they agreed jam but
21:08
half of like you but i'm bread yeah my
21:10
jam my mother is american
21:12
and so some of the of guess so easy jam
21:15
growing up to twenty quid gems rebels
21:17
a dream because forty to sixty percent
21:19
of fruits and vegetables goes away for sucre
21:21
a year or to see go
21:23
to registration and now we invested
21:25
in all the equipment and then once you finish
21:27
getting or the license but as you know in nigeria
21:31
we have monopolistic com industry
21:33
in the industry of sugar so the
21:35
surprised when from six thousand and mary back
21:38
to twelve thousand my or a bag of
21:40
a nice i would approach one of the monopolists
21:43
ask what happened the government's
21:45
enable dance with as story for another
21:47
the then the
21:50
whimpering company so yes of would jump
21:52
in bottles for you have sally some it's a
21:54
one million jars and we could not from
21:56
it's a one million jars so we started going
21:58
to dump sites around lagos
22:00
the basically collection jars
22:02
and we were so realizing them on recycling
22:05
them for they'll be completed all the then
22:07
site and got all the jobs that were possibly
22:09
than were no more jazz available for
22:12
the color of the story he's not someone
22:14
from a tiny town with big dreams of jam
22:17
before dd new at new at her jam
22:19
company see graduated harvard
22:21
business school and she was consultant
22:24
for mackenzie also the ford foundation
22:26
and she worked with world bank and
22:28
she'd found it a successful ngo then
22:31
someone who believes that life is short
22:33
so have to make a difference
22:35
dt is part of certain stratum
22:37
of nigerian society as
22:39
are most of people in the audience listening
22:42
she does finally make it through all these
22:44
hurdles and she gets the actual
22:46
jam to the customer in
22:49
recycled bottles i bet we
22:51
came so average nigerian
22:53
that pineapple a while more
22:55
my goal of four or five psi
22:57
as as and they said not
22:59
read
23:02
thrive on jammies read
23:05
now strawberry jam okay where'd
23:07
you get strawberries in nigeria
23:09
people didn't buy it because apparently
23:12
the research she made was not
23:14
informed enough the
23:16
ever heard of the fail fast the
23:19
idea from silicon valley
23:21
or any oh yes i am so
23:23
fast feel thought i have i
23:25
in fact this is my friend he says that
23:28
would you feel slow ethan
23:32
they would you do that so
23:34
not he could have other would feel sad
23:38
that sounds like you if you have to wait three hundred sixty
23:40
five days for hey as consider
23:42
registration money they have to fill them cyclones
23:44
is this is it the
23:46
fail fast idea it's as tessa
23:48
your ideas quickly seek move on to something
23:51
new and better the when you listen
23:53
to lot his failure night stories from around the
23:55
world the hear people mired
23:57
in obstacles that they can't do much about
23:59
like iraq or see or corruption the
24:02
premises there was actually the point
24:04
of these days
24:05
he says that even if you live in nigeria
24:08
you may not actually know about all these obstacles
24:11
until you hear these stories
24:12
people he , you know was
24:14
that seen those industries usually on see you
24:17
are a part of it's own see you started
24:19
security don't know know
24:21
the information is notice how the hell out there
24:24
jonathan
24:26
you may because there's no clear information
24:28
on on how you supposed to start business
24:30
or what challenges that you might expect it
24:32
gives us as though transparency
24:34
the friendly as you might
24:36
be to disperse as it always see the great
24:38
amounts are got the one lysis
24:40
it up he dismisses so when
24:42
people come to share this story sometimes
24:44
is when he aware of this issue
24:47
happening
24:48
it sounds like it doesn't matter as much
24:50
if the stories and with success
24:52
or with failure as much
24:54
as they there to peel back the
24:56
curtain on what kind problems
24:58
the government might throw
25:00
at the
25:01
printers in nigeria i think would
25:03
have come to realize is that is not
25:05
about the government's the government
25:08
does reflect the kennel people that we are
25:12
the guy debbie the do a job
25:14
because he just
25:17
wanted pay a bribe janet
25:21
and
25:22
right so how does standing
25:24
up and telling a story of failure a know
25:26
as much support as you get from that as
25:28
much inspiration that
25:30
, not there to listen to as he's not
25:32
changing so sad as
25:35
sad you know who
25:37
my cope and my praises
25:40
everybody that comes see
25:42
him is affected and the
25:44
affect next super that meets and interacts which
25:46
and the affect the was city ripple goes round
25:48
read us what i think
25:50
the corrupt of is he will get message
25:52
somewhere he will because
25:55
his daughter isn't it will
25:58
be affected in the system
26:01
that daughter or that nice to
26:03
twenty years ago might have been going after government
26:05
job or less the country she's
26:08
now in nigeria trying start a business
26:10
and running it all those obstacles
26:13
yeah you hear the stories
26:15
says due to the next person
26:17
the buttons intrigued and he said
26:19
it's those it here that person's story and
26:21
before you know his subconscious they see this planted
26:24
well connected one way or the other
26:34
the
26:34
baby toro the college
26:36
physicists from mexico city whose
26:39
own entrepreneurial failure lead to all
26:41
these failure nights around the world he
26:43
, now heard thousands of failure stories
26:46
from places where the odds truly stacked
26:48
against entrepreneurs and
26:50
pay them think back to parts of his father story
26:53
seeing his failures in different light
26:56
like that embarrassing time that his dad
26:58
might have attempted to strangle the bank
27:00
manager got a little bit violent
27:02
sexist or physically with the manager
27:04
of bank there's story behind that the
27:07
government approved his mon in
27:09
dollars and then and then
27:11
devalued the pacers which felt
27:13
like some kind of contact the dead
27:15
is dead owed went from thousands dollars
27:18
to millions
27:19
imagine when he said government's own
27:21
band the only bank am
27:23
the only person that can grant you
27:25
alone or what about adventure
27:28
with pothole machine has bothered
27:30
piss their plan to the city officials to
27:32
fix the city's potholes forget
27:34
and they said and stupid
27:37
we , the portal to consider next year
27:39
when they just said that your dad they just
27:41
tell them it's yeah because for
27:43
their government that business
27:45
sexually how did but homes because then
27:47
they can give up bunch of contracts to their
27:49
coffins and with a construction
27:52
companies companies make a lot money when
27:54
his dad sells helpless his dad
27:56
silent about it and so pepe
27:59
started the still
28:00
nice to break that silence
28:02
that taboo and make entrepreneurs
28:05
feel little more prepared for the bumpy road
28:07
more emotionally resilient to start
28:09
business in place like mexico because
28:11
you know also mexico you
28:14
well anywhere in the developing
28:16
economies you understand that
28:18
the kids not final as with winston
28:20
churchill would say it because
28:23
there will be something always
28:26
from a changing government to
28:28
an earthquake hit to agree last
28:31
two whatever it is got it sounds
28:33
like experience you want people to come away with
28:36
is that if they have
28:38
lost the not a loser
28:41
if they failed it's not because they didn't
28:43
do know follow their passion yes
28:46
exactly am i even
28:48
liked to diva
28:50
got it i like all don't
28:52
follow your passion don't value of as
28:55
yeah it's have because of that
28:57
simplistic message of ah yes follow
28:59
your passion work hard then optimistic
29:01
message of entrepreneurial success
29:04
that gets exported around world
29:06
that is no more wary that i
29:08
think that when you
29:10
had the idea that i had a
29:12
witch's these can be done
29:15
just because of hard work is
29:19
dangerous his adventure story to be honest
29:21
because it opens up
29:23
north for change
29:33
