The Harder I Fall, The Higher I Bounce an interview with entrepreneur Max James

What does it take to fail multiple times, yet come back better than ever?

"This is not something most people want to hear, but you'll learn more from failure than success."

Max James shares his secrets to life, business and success.

From growing up on a farm, and the life-lessons learned through his father, to rescue pilot in Vietnam—shot down twice and lived to tell about it—to building a billion-dollar company from the ground up. Your viewers will be entertained, inspired, and feel a sense of camaraderie as Max shares the lessons learned from failure, and the real-world steps it takes to bounce back.
