This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.

Felipe Pena, author, journalist, psychologist, and host of Globo News reveals himself at TEDx as someone who has failed. "I've never won an award and never earned praise from the media." In his journey, he has a handful of experiences which, in his view, all resulted in failure. As a director of TV Globo, he failed when only looking into reports instead of speaking eye to eye with the staff. He worked just six months in the job. He got involved in social projects, such as the documentary about families evicted from Vila Autódromo for the construction of the Olympic Park. This documentary was shown at international festivals but never shown in Brazil, which left him feeling defeated from being unable to help the families.
