An inside look at how companies and executives rise and fall, with important lessons for all aspiring entrepreneurs

The Good Fail is part business story, part guilty pleasure, exploring Richard Keith Latman's very public missteps and the painful lessons he learned as a result, presented to fellow entrepreneurs, in his own words, for the first time.
