Season 1 Finale: Mistakes We Made & Mantras We Keep | Monday Next Episode 10

In the Season 1 finale of Monday Next, Scott and Meredith skip the polished “failure stories” and talk about the real mistakes that cost money, time, and sleep. Scott shares the “deep vs. wide” decision he still regrets, plus how insecurity led him into business partnerships that were the wrong fit. Meredith breaks down a five-year bet she was sure would work, and a sales KPI shift that briefly pushed her team toward choices that felt misaligned. Then they share the mantras that keep them grounded as leaders, including “1% better,” the “Monday tell,” and Meredith’s North Star question: “What result are we looking for?” If you run a business, lead a team, or you are still carrying a decision you wish you could redo, this one will help you process it honestly and move forward.
