Welcome to I Love Failure – Business Edition, an event that brings together leaders from different areas of business who are willing to do something rare: speak honestly about what usually stays hidden. Not polished success stories, but strange perspectives, uncomfortable decisions, and the failures behind what later became “empires.”
This is not a place for performance. It’s a space of freedom and authenticity, where you are welcomed exactly as you choose to show up.
This event is built as an Emotional Gym: a space where courage is trained. Through carefully designed experiences, you’ll be invited to explore our workouts, the emotions we usually hide at work like fear, doubt, pressure, shame and see how they quietly shape leadership behavior, culture, and decisions.
Beyond the stage, this is a space for confession and connection. You’ll meet other leaders who are done pretending, who understand that real strength in business doesn’t come from control, but from emotional honesty.
Dress Code: Judgment Exposure
As part of our courage exercises, we invite you to practice Judgment Exposure. Come dressed in business attire, but with one intentional imperfection, something incomplete or “not quite right”. How visible this is, is entirely your choice. Notice what it feels like to be seen without fixing yourself.

Why I Love Failure Business?
Because business is not just about numbers.
It’s about people, difficult decisions, and the ability to move forward when things don’t work.
I Love Failure is the community for those who choose to learn from failure, not hide it.
