Dr. Aaron Dinin is a Duke University professor, entrepreneur, creator, and author known for helping people rethink their relationship with failure. He teaches popular courses including Learning to Fail and Building Global Audiences, where students learn through unconventional challenges, public experimentation, and the occasional deeply weird classroom assignment. A former startup founder with experience building three tech companies and participating in top tier accelerators, Dinin combines academic insight, entrepreneurial scars, and a large social media platform to make failure feel less like a punishment and more like something worth understanding. His work has been featured on Today, Bloomberg, Wired, and Cosmopolitan.
