We’re looking at how Jennifer Hudson lost American Idol in 7th place and then turned around and won an Oscar. It’s the ultimate proof that hearing a "no" is usually just a detour, not the end of the road. Success is never a straight line, and sometimes those big setbacks are just clearing the path for something much better. We’re digging into why losing the match doesn't mean you've lost the game and how to totally redefine what "winning" actually means. If you're feeling stuck in 7th place, come see why your biggest "fail" might be your best move yet.
