F*ck Failure is a book by prominent music producer Benny Blanco that explores the realities of making mistakes, overcoming professional pressure, and finding eventual success through trial and error. On an episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty titled BENNY BLANCO: The Secret to Failing Your Way to Success, host Jay Shetty welcomed Blanco back to the show and enthusiastically recommended his new book to the audience. Shetty shared that he had read the publication and found the experience genuinely life-changing, noting that the more he embraced the idea of being good at failure, the more successful he felt he could become. He praised the book for being filled with compelling stories and practical advice on every page, and he recommended the audiobook version so listeners could enjoy hearing Blanco's own voice narrating his experiences. During the interview, Shetty and Blanco discussed specific exercises and anecdotes from the text, including an opening exercise where readers are asked to repeat the phrase I am a failure, which Blanco explained was designed to help people fundamentally reevaluate their relationship with falling short. Blanco also reflected on personal stories included in the book, such as his father and a narrative about his mother overcoming her fear of pursuing painting due to traditional expectations. Shetty urged everyone to read or listen to the publication, predicting that audiences would find both entertainment and profound wisdom in its pages.

“Benny, you start this book by asking people to repeat, I am a failure. And I loved it. Why? Tell us why that's important is for us to start by saying I am a failure.”
“The reason why I liked it when I was reading it was I was thinking the more I realize that I want to be good at failure, the more likely I am to become successful.”
“How do you think people can find that? Like, what are you telling people in the book to do to find that tunnel vision?”
“There's so much to that in this whole idea of F failure, because it's like, you started small. You did a flight that was one hour away. You said, just take this one flight.”
“You tell some amazing stories of some people who are now famous in the book. I wanted you to tell the Bruno Mars story because I thought that was incredible to read that he used to be an Elvis impersonator.”
“The reason why I asked you about how have you failed as a husband was because there's a story in the book that you tell. And the reason why I loved it so much is because I think when we watch people like you or you watch people like Bruno Mars or you watch people like Celino, whoever it may”
“The reason why I love that, and I'm so glad you shared it. And I just want everyone to know, when you get this book, this book is filled with story after story, page after page.”
“That's what I love about your story in this book, though, is that you've made scary decisions on one end, on Britney Spears' Circus, huge artist, huge album. And then you make scary decisions because you want to make issues with Julia Michaels,”
“Benny, in the book, you talk about how at one point in your life, you were successful in your career, but you were physically and mentally failing.”

“I don't think I realized it until writing this book because I was trying to think of all the failures in my life. And me and my dad have a great relationship.”
“And I talk about it in this book. She was so scared because she was taught that you go to school, you go and get your college degree, you get a job, you do that.”
“And trying to get better for her and for this book. This book helped me fly. I said, how could I go on and be selling everyone on a book on failures when I failed at something and I haven't done it?”
“If I hadn't failed in so many situations, I hadn't failed when I was 20 years old and had to go to therapy to learn that toolbox that I have in cognitive behavioral therapy where it's okay to let some people down.”
