In this next episode of the series #BoldFail, we meet Kyle Murphy. Kyle is the founder and CEO of Enspice, as well as a 2020 Notre Dame alum. Enspice is the first nutrient enhanced spice that began as a nonprofit, but might be making an appearance into national grocery retailers in the coming years. As CEO of the startup, Kyle, working alongside his father as co-founder, describes how he overcame obstacles associated with his initial prototypes, such as ensuring cost effectiveness, and his ideas to expand Enspice’s product line going forward. 

 

#BoldFail is a celebration of strategic failure. No profitable startup or entrepreneur goes from success to success. All experience multiple challenges and failures along the way. Failure by itself is neutral, neither good nor bad. The question is: what did we learn from it? Failure in operations and failure that results from complexity can be prevented with proper processes, oversight, and care. But failure that comes from pushing beyond boundaries is a commendable, necessary step because it breaks new ground on the path to discovery. #BoldFail is a celebration of the mindset that sees the future, seizes opportunity and embraces failure as a routine step toward success, a chance to persevere or pivot rather than quit.
