Have you ever been rejected? Have you ever failed at achieving a goal? Episode 1 of "The Wooden Spoon" explores how the definition of failure is subjective, as well as discussing society's view on failure. We hear about the group's biggest personal rejections (such as being rejected from top universities like Oxford and Cambridge) and consider what comes after failure - reflection, growth and ultimately success.
