The 20 Somethings Show EP 05: Failure – Lessons, Struggles, and Growth

Failure is one of those topics that makes people uncomfortable. Nobody wants to admit they failed—whether in career, love, finances, or personal goals. But the truth is, failure is universal.

If you’re in your 20s, you’ve probably faced moments where things didn’t go as planned—maybe a failed job application, a business idea that didn’t work out, or a relationship that ended badly. It feels crushing. But failure is not the end of the road—it’s the classroom of life.

That’s exactly what we explore in Episode 05 of The 20 Somethings Show.

Key Lessons from the Episode

Here are some of the most powerful takeaways from the discussion:

  • Failure is not final. It doesn’t define who you are—it shapes who you’re becoming.

  • Success is built on mistakes. Every big achievement has a trail of failures behind it.

  • Your 20s are for learning. This is the season to experiment, try, fail, and grow.

  • Resilience is everything. The quicker you bounce back, the stronger you become.


Why This Conversation Matters to the Diaspora

For Nigerians and Africans living abroad, failure sometimes feels heavier—because expectations are higher. Many in the diaspora face:

  • Pressure to succeed quickly.

  • Comparison with peers.

  • Cultural and financial struggles.

This episode offers encouragement: no matter where you are—Lagos, London, Toronto, or New York—failure is a common language. And how you handle it determines your future.
