For the past five years, Apprentice University has sought to provide students throughout Indiana and beyond with access to education unrestricted. Author of You're Always Being Interviewed and founder Ron Brumbarger originally created the university to alleviate a talent shortage in the technology industry, but has since expanded its focus to include a diverse community of professionals and students. For more in-depth study and engagement, Brumbarger created two institutes within the university, one of which is the Failure Institute. Why focus on failure? Because where would we be if we weren't constantly learning from our failures, he says. As a self-published author, Brumbarger understands how self-doubt and thoughts of failure can consume writers. He encourages fellow authors to embrace failures and setbacks and learn from them, because doing so will only lead to growth.
