And I failed at keeping it at 10 minutes but that’s completely on topic! 🤗
This week, the twenty-sixth video.
A Rock Star Take On FAILURE
video recorded Friday 27 February 2026
1. We’re back! 00:00
With a new episode of a Rock Star Take on;
And today the topic is FAILURE
Something which I got to know intimately, these last couple of months, because I failed so many times when filming these videos.
I have a whole newly acquired stack of failures, under my belt!
2. Failure versus Productivity 00:56
Failure, more often than not, actually translates as:
Failure to be productive.
In a world obsessed with productivity, failing is considered wasteful.
Our shame of failure stems from fear of being rejected by society.
3. Failure is an inherent part of creativity 02:56
Insecurity, taking risks and starting something without knowing where it is gonna go, are all ingrained in being creative or being an artist.
Productivity demands the absence of failure.
Creativity dances with it.
4. “Failure”? Can still be success! 04:55
Last week I lost a lot of hours to studying a topic that did not have anything to do with my work nor with my creativity.
So all those hours, I “failed” at being productive.
And yet!
When creating my week review, I realized these hours had brought me insights into myself and about the last past years, which were extremely valuable.
So in retrospect, those “lost” hours had an incredible revenue or outcome!
An outcome I would never have had, had I stuck with the narrow definition of success.
It required just plunging in head first, not knowing the outcome.

5. Recap: 2 big takeaways 07:22
⚠️ beware of productivity forcing us into a narrowminded idea of what success is
❓ Let the “failure” sink in a bit, before you label it. It could turn out to be an unexpected success.
6. Creating on the cusp of failure 09:03
Art really needs you to be in that dance with failure!
Productivity and getting the job done, is the rule for normal life.
But your best art, is the one you could fail.
