This is a podcast about ideas that made it to the launch pad but imploded before they left the ground. Lessons we learned, things we realized about ourselves, and reasons we don't follow through on our dreams.

So, I haven't posted a podcast in almost two weeks. I'm losing interest. Maybe that means you are too. I'm not sure. Starting and leaving something to wither in the sun is a bad habit I have. Today I make some confessions about that, provide an update on my friend's podcast, and ask for your opinion. Let me know if we should keep this thing going. …

Goals are great but without a timetable for completion, they are nothing more than dreams. The last part of the SMART goals acronym is Time-bound. This is an essential part of measuring your goals, knowing if they are realistic and if they are attainable. Failure to establish a timetable can allow projects to run on endlessly. Time-bound goals will…

Aim high but be real about what you can accomplish. This can be a very difficult conversation, but knowing your limitations is the key to finding success. Often people don't want to admit where they fall short. They see this are a threat to their self-worth instead of an opportunity to improve. Being realistic about your goals also ensures you aren…

You have to do more than believe to achieve. You have to ensure that what you are attempting to do is possible. Now, there are times where you truly attempt to innovate. This can often seem impossible. It's important to be able to distinguish between the two. The different aspects of SMART goals often overlap and you have to each one into account w…

Don't be afraid to let your light shine. I first heard this poem quoted in the movie Coach Carter. It was an underlying theme in the movie and a powerful scene. The poem was only quoted in part and I later looked up the entire thing. I've often found it so encouraging. On this particular morning, I was sharing with one of my daughters the power she…

Do a tree falling in the woods make a sound of no one is around to hear it? I always hated this because you can't prove one way or the other. The crux of the question is can the sound be measured and if it can't does it exist? That's what is essential to a SMART goal. You have to be able to measure you progress. If you can't, how do you know you ar…

Letter "S" of smart goals is the word specific. You have to clearly identify what your target is. High level is good for brainstorming but if you want to actually achieve something, you have to define what it is first. Connect with me on socials!!

My friend shared with me what an American idea success is. She had worked with young ladies in Eastern Europe and many of them had no concept of self-worth. No one had told them they were valuable or that they could accomplish anything worthwhile. She was often the first person to ever express that they were valuable and special. This is the lie th…

Today I wanted to share the poem If by Rudyard Kipling with you. I love this poem and read it often to remind me that uncertainty should not be feared. Our response determines the outcome.

I want to continue discussing success today. I was really spending some time thinking about our aim or purpose. So often we only look at the finish line but don't include the work it took to get there as part of our success. We've got to change this mindset. We have to define our progress as small wins on our way to the "big show". I share an examp…

Failure can be defined as the lack of success, but what is success? How you define success has huge implications. I want to take a step back and recommend you look at success differently. We'll have to spend more time on this topic but I want to get your wheels turning today. We also have a sponsor today! Today's episode is brought to you by Random…

Before we dig deeper on failure and success, I want to discuss the fear of failure. I think that is the true reason we don't move forward with an idea. How that fear looks likely varies from person to person, but I believe it's this fear that often holds us back. Today we began to touch on this idea and I provide two examples of people who found su…

Why am I doing this podcast? Let me tell you why. There is a very specific reason and it's because I'm trying to help my friend. Sometimes you need a little nudge and that's what this is. We are also going to talk about what holds us back. Today, I briefly go over the definition of failure. We'll dig into this deeper tomorrow. --- Send in a voice m…

In the midst of Turtle mania, surrounded by Street Sharks, Battletoads and Martian Biker Mice, one studio decided to do things backwards: What if we made the tie-in videogame first, and made the cartoon second? Unfortunately the game was a disaster, so obviously the adventures of Bullet-head Man, Horny Buzzsaw-for-legs Girl, Sentient Toolbox and uh…

Our first Failure to Launch for 2020 is the super-1985 Suburban Beat, the story of 4 suburban housewives thrown together by circumstance (they wanted to) to solve the murder of their friend. I say friend, but to be honest they're kinda glib about the whole thing. This quickly changes, however, as the details of the murder become more and more serio…

Two kids cuddle a shitty mannequin who turns into a man with a blue mullet. He avoids getting stabbed in 80s New York City while teaching the kids about centrist politics.

This week we're looking at our oldest pilot ever, Madame Sin, a 1973 attempt to kinda do Bond on TV, but what if the villain was the protagonist and also Bette Davis?

When The Owl comes up against rapping drug dealer Cool Ice (he has a henchman with a boombox on standby), no amount of carbombed daughters or late city busses can stop him…

It wouldn't be a season of Failure to Launch without a crimefighting dog, so here's Sniff, another pilot from the 1988 CBS Summer Playhouse (pls bring this back CBS it's been so bountiful.)

This week on FtL, we travelled back in time, then forward again, to look at a sexy, revamped version of the Three Musketeers. But these aren’t your grandma’s stogy old Musketeers, all 17th Century and French and shit. These bad boys (and girl! Fancy!) live in America in the year 2000, only… different.

This week on Failure to Launch, we raced through Our Thirties, a 2006 sitcom that, like all other sitcoms from the era, was trying to be Friends. Our Thirties hook was a cast of characters with midlife crises on the horizon, examining what they wanted out of life. Turns out it's weddings. Weddings weddings weddings, heteronormative pairings and giv…

At Failure to Launch, Halloween's not over yet!* Closing out this extended spoopy month is The Omen, a mid-90s attempt to serialise the 1970s film.

This week Failure to Launch examines a late-90s relic from MTV, Sorority. An attempt to riff on classic college comedies like Animal House, but with a twist: instead of misfit dudes fighting the stuck up arseholes in the snooty frat, it’s all about misfit women fighting the stuck up arseholes in the snooty, uh... sorority. Sounds kinda progressive,…

After his boss is killed and then he himself is killed (but not really), he teams up with a hot Walkman fence slash wheelchair-bound child race fixer, hangs out in a crypt and fights crime the 1930s way - wearing a little mask and punching people dramatically. Also, Niles from The Nanny plays an art dealer, but he’s not in it much :( Reviewers: Jam…
