In this episode of AltitudeX: The Business Leaders' Podcast, Holly Clarke sits down with Tom Rivers, Brand Director at Speechmatics, to talk about failure. While some of us might feel embarrassed to have “how to deal with failure” in our search history, Tom Rivers believes embarrassment in the face of failure is ill-founded. The term “squiggly careers” would be an understatement to describe his career journey as a leader—from the highs of launching a venture capital-backed start-up alongside giants like UiPath and Tide, to false starts, failures and lowered expectations. Tom’s incredible story calls leaders to rethink failure, ambition and resilience.
