The Good Fail - Podcast

The Good Fail

The Good Fail is brought to you by twin sisters Merle and Abra Hunt, Illustrator and writer/actor respectively, as they navigate life as creators and the struggle to keep going in the face of apparent failure.
Together this is their response to the medias onesided image of success. They're learning to embrace their failure and turn it into a positive, bringing you a different perspective on what it looks like to succeed in the creative business and life in general.
