121. How to Fail the Right Way: Lessons from a Multimillion-Dollar Company

Dok Kwon co-owns CUPBOP, a Korean BBQ business, with 220 stores worldwide and $3.5M monthly revenue. But it all started with a single food truck! In this episode Dok digs deep to share his insights on entrepreneurship, growing a business worldwide, and why sometimes you just have to fail the right way.

Key Takeaways:

1. Never linger with failure. You have to have the takeaway from it but you likely made the best decision with the data that you had.
2. The biggest misconception about entrepreneurship - it looks glamorous but it requires a much higher pain threshold than working for a company.
3. Don’t take no for an answer. Execute and figure it out - to be successful you will find a way.
