My All Time Favorite Example of Surviving The Dip

As a reminder, here are the questions to respond to (remember to respond to three).

​1. Why do you think Caine doesn't give up?
​2. How does Caine actually "lean in to the Dip" as Godin would say?
​3. Does Caine embrace "the happy fail"?  Why or why not?
​4. Certainly, Caine's breakthrough is a result of luck. However, relate Caine's luck to what Sir Ken Robinson says about luck in the previous book we read, The Element.  Review your notes if necessary for this one.
​5. Does Caine become - using Godin's terminology - "the best in the world"?
