When Superfair curator Sharone Halevy was in high school, success meant fame, money, and Broadway. Looking back, she thinks she may have been blinded by ambition.

"I was not a good friend as a kid. I think I was not a good listener. I had friends, obviously, and one of them is still my friend to this day... and I've learned a lot from that friendship over time."

In this episode of our series 'Failing Up', Sharone sits down with her high school best friend, actor Jason Gotay, to trace the trajectory of their ideas about success and failure.

Jason Gotay is an actor and teaching artist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His credits are wide ranging, but to name just a few – he made his Broadway debut in the original company of Bring It On: The Musical and starred in HBO’s reboot of Gossip Girl.
