*Author and speaker Andrew D. Kaufman shares a personal story about failure, honesty, and reconciliation with his father, revealing how the courage to admit our mistakes can deepen trust, strengthen relationships, and help us begin again.*
After earning his PhD at Stanford, Kaufman chased success in Hollywood and was taken in by a con artist. But when he returned home, ashamed and defeated, his fatherโs unexpected confession of his own failures helped him find the courage to start again.
In this clip inspired by his keynote, The Courage to Stay Human, Kaufman reveals how honesty in the face of failure is the first step to deepening relationships and regaining courage.
His insights are shaped by his PEN-finalist, Hollywood-adapted book ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐: ๐ผ ๐๐ง๐ช๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฎ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ค๐ซ๐, ๐๐๐จ๐ , ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ค๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ฎ, and 15 years teaching in jail classrooms, where heโs learned that shared vulnerability is the foundation of real connection.
