Sometimes You Win, and Sometimes You Learn: Turning Losses into Leadership Growth

Hey, this is Dan Dowdy, founder of Built for the Trades, where we help businesses grow through leadership development. Today, we're diving into one of my favorite lessons from John Maxwell—"Sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn." Losses are inevitable, but it's all about how you grow through them that sets great leaders apart. In this episode, I share personal stories, leadership advice, and practical steps on how to reframe losses into learning opportunities. Let’s lead with humility, take ownership, and continue growing together.
