About this episode

What if we reframed failure as a step toward clarity rather than away from success? In this episode, Laurence and Carlos sit down with Anne-Laure le Cunff, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and author of the book Tiny Experiments, to explore why failure isn’t failure – it’s feedback. Anne-Laure’s work is all about curiosity-driven learning; turning doubt into discovery through small, low-risk experiments. Her approach aligns deeply with how we support entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives inside our Vision 20/20 group coaching program: Curiosity leads to clarity. What fascinates you is often pointing you toward the work you’re meant to do. Small experiments create momentum. You don’t need a master plan—just a first step. Failure is data, not a dead end. When you stop seeing failure as personal, you start seeing opportunity. Exploration before exploitation ensures alignment. Before you "scale" an idea, make sure it truly fits you. Structure + flexibility = a sustainable, fulfilling business. The key is having just enough structure to guide you, but enough freedom to adapt. If you’re navigating a career transition, designing a business that truly fits, or just wrestling with the fear of getting it wrong, this conversation is for you.
