Aaron Swenson, Weber State University alumnus and Manager of Global Corporate Payments for American Express, took the time to talk to students about how important it is to fail.
After attending WSU in 2003 and entering into a career in finance, Swenson came back to his old stomping grounds to talk to students about failure and wanted to encourage them to not be afraid of failing. He was invited to speak in the Nye Lecture Series and gave everyone in the room a bit of hope:
“Failure is okay, and businesses have ups and downs, to be able to minimize that as much as possible but to not be discouraged and to realize that there are so many different, unique and changing ways that businesses are operating primary cash flow bases,” said Swenson.
Don’t let failure discourage you from finding success!
