Failing forward...
Every leader hits a wall - a moment that tests resilience, vision, and courage. The Wall Podcast dives into those defining moments when leaders face adversity and push through instead of turning back. Hosted by John Costigan, whose work has reached over 1 million people across 30+ countries, the show features raw, unfiltered conversations with executives, entrepreneurs, and innovators from Fortune 500 giants to fast-growing startups.
As John says, “No one wants to hear how great you are. They want to hear how great you weren’t, how hard it was, and what you did to overcome the challenges you endured.” The Wall goes beyond polished success stories to uncover the truth behind resilience, failure, and growth - revealing what it really takes to break through.
Welcome To The Wall.

Speaking to Kevin is like riding a bike..
Winning the 2008 NBA Championship and losing the 2010 Finals gave Kevin Eastman two powerful but opposite experiences as part of the Boston Celtics coaching staff. Both taught him lasting lessons about success, failure, and growth, which inspired him to write Why the Best Are the Best.
In this book, Eastman reveals what separates elite performers from everyone else — their mindset, discipline, and ability to turn setbacks into progress. Through 25 Power Words, he shares the principles the best use to define their values, guide their actions, and achieve excellence — lessons that anyone can apply in their own life and career.
Talking with Ed Feels Like Guidance You Can Trust
From the moment Ed shares his journey, it feels like you’ve known him forever. He’s a rare leader who combines sharp business insight with genuine empathy. Every story he tells leaves you thinking differently about leadership.
In this conversation, we explore tough choices, pioneering work at Apple, and his “Hold Your Rope” philosophy. It’s a lesson in trust, accountability, and showing up for others. A masterclass for anyone facing a wall in their career or life.
