Task Failed Successfully
Podcast Description
Our mistakes. Your milestones.
Task Failed Successfully is a no-BS podcast for builders, founders, and creative misfits who are done pretending the road to success is smooth. Hosted by Vince O’Gorman (Nexxt Ideas), Brady MacDonald (Nexxt Ideas), and Christa Hill (Tacit Edge), each episode dives into real stories of failure, false starts, and the hard lessons that come with building anything worth a damn.
This isn’t advice from the sidelines—it’s from the trenches. You’ll hear the stuff most people won’t say out loud: missed launches, broken dev promises, wasted budgets, and the pivots that saved it all. It’s sharp, funny, and brutally honest. Because failure isn’t the end—it’s just the cost of doing something that matters.

S1E10 — Launch, Test, Learn, Repeat: The Simple Rule Most Founders Forget
Here is the uncomfortable truth. Your ego might be the most expensive liability in your entire business.
This episode digs into the unvalidated assumptions, skipped tests, and founder blind spots that quietly derail startups long before launch day.
Hosts Vince O’Gorman (Founder, Nexxt Ideas), Brady MacDonald (Chief of Sales, Nexxt Ideas), and Christa Hill (Co-Founder, Tacit Edge) explore how confirmation bias and unchecked confidence can cloud judgment and why the market cares only about what works, not what you believe should work.
You will hear painfully relatable stories of ego-led decisions that bombed, along with simple validation loops that could have saved months of dev time or piles of money. This conversation blends tough love with practical clarity. It is founder therapy with a purpose: replace ego with evidence so you can build smarter.
In This Episode:
- Why ego kills clarity and blocks honest decision-making
- How assumptions masquerade as strategy
- Why untested ideas are simply guesses in disguise
- Examples of failures caused by ignoring user feedback
- Practical shifts that move founders from opinion-driven to evidence-driven
Perfect for:

- Builders who keep choosing gut feelings over user signals
- Entrepreneurs ready to stop guessing and start validating
This episode is a call to grow up in your approach.
- Ditch the ego. Validate the idea. Let real users shape what you build.
- Under 30 minutes. Real insights that move you forward today.
