His take on putting your energy into a project that doesn’t flourish is refreshing; “There’s integrity in failure.”Thomas says his experience of failing at something that meant so much to him helped him to contribute his energy to helping something else succeed, and in that failure, he was able to find a more fulfilling path. Failure has the ability to force you into reexamining what’s important, how you can best channel your energy and your own personal definition of success.
