#041: The Truth About Thomas Edison's 10,000 Light Bulb "Failures"

Did Thomas Edison invent the light bulb, and is it true that he said he didn’t fail 10,000 times, he only discovered 10,000 ways it didn’t work?

In today's episode, I explore the famous quote about Thomas Edison and the light bulb. You’ve probably heard the quote, “I have not failed 10,000 times—I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.”

Today, I explore whether Edison failed 10,000 times. And I ask if he could have actually succeeded in ONE try.

As always, thanks for listening!
