Listen... shit happens.  Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.  And when they do, we have a choice to make: do we shake things up or call it quits?   Both have merits.  In this episode I tell the story of an early encounter with failure at Curtsy and how we eventually survived it.  The experience taught me a lot about the nuts and bolts of the "shake it up" option.   Let's unpack.

I'm David Oates, twenty-something dropout and founder/CEO at Curtsy, the sustainable way to shop and sell clothes online. This is Something Like That, my new podcast where I share hot-off-the-press learnings from growing up and building Curtsy. The phrase "something like that" celebrates lack of precision in speech, aka, not sweating the details. On the show, stories are usually paraphrased, names of things often forgotten, and opinions certain to change.
