The Best Mistake I Ever Made is a long-form interview podcast about the failures that change how people think, lead, and build.

​

Each episode features a thoughtful conversation with founders, business leaders, athletes, musicians, authors, scientists, and other high performers about one decision, assumption, or moment that didn’t work as planned – and why it ended up being one of the most important lessons of their life or career.

​

This isn’t a highlight reel or a hustle podcast. There are no hot takes, no motivational clichés, and no perfectly polished success stories. Instead, the show goes deep on real failures, leadership mistakes, creative missteps, career setbacks, and hard-earned lessons that rarely make it into bios or press releases.

​

Hosted by Jordan Shaheen, the podcast blends storytelling with practical insight, exploring topics like leadership, startups, creativity, performance, decision-making, growth, failure, and learning the hard way – through honest, reflective conversations.

​

If you’re interested in business, startups, leadership, entrepreneurship, creativity, performance, or simply the stories behind success, The Best Mistake I Ever Made offers a more human place to start.
