The Walls of the Wigwam: Why Losing Today Is the Key to Winning Tomorrow | Episode 87

Real Producers

What if I told you that the painful failure you’re experiencing isn’t the end of the story but just the middle?

My high school basketball coach dared to believe we could take on the best team. Inspired by the story of Jericho, he walked around the massive Wigwam arena for 7 days, praying for a victory.

The result? A brutal loss. But that’s not where the story ends.

Fast forward a decade, and that same school and the same coach achieved what once seemed impossible. As business owners, we experience setbacks or even total failures, and even though it feels like the end, I want to challenge you to see it differently.

Success isn’t about one big win. It’s about how you keep showing up, even when the walls don’t come tumbling down. In this episode, I share the story of my high school basketball coach and how faith and persistence always pay off.

If you experience a failure, I challenge you to think that you’re just in the middle of the story instead of thinking it’s the end of the story. -Remington Ramsey
