Description

Todd and Dax talk about what happens when good plans fall apart and everything goes differently than you hoped. Todd shares a story from Uganda where the plan to help didn’t go the way he expected, but what seemed like failure turned into a second chance to make a difference. Together they explore how to navigate disappointment, why failure can sometimes make space for something better, and how to recognize purpose in moments that don’t go according to plan.
