In Chapter 20 of 23 in his 2014 Capture Your Flag interview, environmental advocate Andrew Hutson answers "How Have You Learned to Adapt When Things Have Not Worked Out as Planned?" Hutson shares how learning from mistakes and learning to fail fast are two keys to professional development. Adapting to and learning from failure requires setting expectations up front that there is a chance something might go wrong with a project. It also is helpful to do a postmortem after a project to review why a failure happened, what can be learned from this failure, and removing emotion to make better next time.

Hutson earned a PhD in Public Policy from UNC-Chapel Hill, a Masters in Environment Management (MEM) from Duke University and a BA in International Relations from Michigan State University.
