Record producer Benny Blanco reveals why embracing failure—not success—unlocks true creative potential. In his candid new book, the hitmaker behind 'Love Yourself,' 'Diamonds,' and 'Circus' shares how he overcame crippling anxiety, conquered a 8-year flying phobia, and built chart-topping songs by staying authentically himself rather than imitating Timbaland or Pharrell. Benny pulls back the curtain on working with Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, and Britney Spears, explaining why the scariest decisions often lead to your biggest wins—and how protecting your mental health while chasing dreams isn't selfish, it's essential. Failure only damages you if you don't learn from it; successful people have amnesia to failure and immediately ask 'what's next' instead of dwelling on setbacks.
