In this seventh episode of the series #BoldFail, we meet Ryan Kreager, an experienced entrepreneur and the CEO of Frost Control Systems. Ryan has an impressive background, notably with OneParish, an online platform for Catholic parishes to receive donations and support. This success has not gone unnoticed, as Ryan has received numerous grants and awards celebrating his success, such as the Elevate Ventures High Performance Startup Grant, a semi-finalist position in the McCloskey Business Plan Competition, and the Michiana 40 Under 40 Class of 2016. 

 

#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 or 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.
