Collect More Failures: The Counter-Intuitive Path to Success | EF EP 92
Want to know what it really takes to build something in dance music? When Jason Euler's emails to Relentless Beats went unanswered, he didn't just try again - he threw his own block party, betting everything he had. We're talking maxed-out credit cards, a pink slip against his car, and a call to his mom saying, "If this fails, I'm moving home."
From losing thousands in a single night to massive success, Jason's journey proves that the people who 'make it' in this industry aren't the ones who never fail - they're the ones who refuse to stay down. Now, as Senior Director of Partnerships at Relentless Beats, he reveals exactly what it takes to turn setbacks into comebacks.
