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.

S1E07 — How Did We Get Here: When Brilliant Ideas Solve the Wrong Problems
Your idea might be smart, bold—even brilliant. But if it doesn’t solve a real problem, it’s already dead.
This episode dives into one of the most common startup traps: building for what you think people need instead of what they actually do. Hosts Vince O’Gorman (Founder, Nexxt Ideas), Brady MacDonald (Chief of Sales, Nexxt Ideas), and Christa Hill (Co-Founder, Tacit Edge) share stories of great ideas that completely missed the mark—and how they could’ve been saved by validating user pain before writing a single line of code.
If you’ve ever poured time and money into something no one wanted, this one will hit hard. But it’ll also show you how to get back on track.
