Lessons From a Shoe Designer: How Failure can Lead to Success | Sean Scott | TEDxCrossroadsSchool

Negative connotations are often associated with failure, but this couldn't be further from the truth. More often than none, one must often fail to succeed. Shoe designer Sean Scott reinforces this idea through his valuable life experiences​. Sean Scott, along with his wife, Shannon Scott, and accomplished footwear designer Ryan Gumienny co-founded COMUNITY, a shoe brand company dedicated to providing jobs and supporting nonprofit organizations in downtown LA. As an expert in the shoe industry, Scott understands that shoes aren’t just an article of clothing but rather a vehicle that can help connect and inspire others to take action. By innovating the industry through its socially conscious sneakers, COMUNITY is creating hope and exciting change within the LA community.
