Fail Forward Through Fear | JACOB BROWN | TEDxCentral Michigan University

"Fail Forward Through Fear" is an empowering TEDx talk theme that redefines failure—not as a dead end, but as a necessary step on the path to growth, courage, and success. In a world that often glorifies perfection and punishes mistakes, this talk challenges the fear of failure and reframes it as fuel for transformation. This talk is not about avoiding fear, but walking through it—with purpose. It’s a call to action for anyone who’s ever held back, reminding us that progress is often messy, and that the most impactful journeys begin where comfort ends. To “fail forward” is to keep moving, learning, and becoming—despite the fear Jacob Brown is a former NFL athlete turned entrepreneur, transformational speaker, best-selling author, and business coach. Known for his #FailForward philosophy, Jacob helps individuals and organizations overcome challenges and embrace growth. As a three-time TEDx speaker, Jacob was named one of the '40 Under 40' in 2015. He's been featured in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and Good Morning America, among others. Jacob has also had the privilege of speaking for major brands and institutions such as Intel, Meta, LinkedIn, Dallas Cowboys, UPS, Carhartt, General Motors, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Michigan. Jacob's mission goes beyond motivation. He promotes a transformative approach to life, advocating for a mental reset and a shift in perspective to discover one’s true calling.
