AS017: Bill Wolfer, Learning to Fail (2020)

In this episode Bill Wolfer argues that failure is an important part of the learning process, an unavoidable feature of the road to success. Bill Wolfer is an assistant professor of Computer Science, chair of the Department of Computing, and Director of the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This episode has a special feature, a message from the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference President, Elder Ted Wilson. He thanks the Andrews community for our service to humanity, our actions to bless others in our local community and around the world. And he encourages us to continue to find new ways to serve others as an expression of our faith. This presentation by Bill Wolfer on creativity, failure, and success is the final episode of Season 2 of the Andrews Speaks podcast. Thank you for listening to this season as we addressed a number of important issues—change, mental and physical health, math, physics, environmental activism, racial injustice, and creativity.
