Failure is one of the few inevitabilities of business, but despite how common it is, it’s rare that entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals talk about it openly. One woman, through a radically-named organization, is changing that.

Leticia Gasca and her friends wondered why when entrepreneurs and professionals gathered, they only talked about success and never failure. So, they chose to have a candid conversation about their mistakes, and Gasca had an epiphany. “I felt so guilty that I decided to hide my failures…I realized we all have hidden failures. That night was an exorcism for me and made me realize that sharing my failures made me stronger…made me connect with people more deeply,” Gasca recalled.

After working with innovative startups in ‘Startup Nation,’ she felt like this meant she was failing. Despite the uphill battle, FUN Toronto’s first event in March of 2017 was more successful than Druker could have even imagined. Today, the event continues to be a hit, with the city being one of the largest and most active of all the chapters.
