I've <a href="https://www.leanblog.org/?s=matt+may+podcast">interviewed him many times before</a>. I didn't know that he was formerly a theatre and television actor (including a stint on a soap opera — I don't have video clips of that).</p> <p>Today, we talk about a few of his favorite mistakes:</p> <ul> <li>Not taking the traditional high-paying job after completing his MBA</li> <li>Leaving New York City for Los Angeles in the pursuit of his acting career</li> </ul> <p>Matt and I also talk about mistakes more generally — when are they “happy mistakes?” Were there any acting gigs that were mistakes? How should we think about mistakes, as individuals and as organizations?</p> <p>This podcast is part of the <a href="http://leancommunicators.com/">Lean Communicators network</a> -- check it out!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support</a>
