When a Diet Coke Becomes Your Greatest Teacher
Ann Hiatt spilled Diet Coke all over her laptop while sitting next to Larry Page on a flight to Zurich. Turbulence hit, and there she was-Google's newest chief of staff, drenched in embarrassment at 30,000 feet. Most of us would have hidden in the bathroom for the rest of the flight. Hiatt did something different. She got a replacement laptop immediately and worked harder than she'd ever worked, turning her most mortifying moment into her most productive trip. That pivot-from humiliation to contribution-earned her the trust of executives she'd work alongside for the next nine years. This is the essence of betting on yourself: not avoiding failure, but learning to dance with it so quickly that failure becomes fuel. Hiatt spent twelve years at Amazon and Google, sitting three feet from Jeff Bezos and later working as Eric Schmidt's right hand. Her journey from military brat to Silicon Valley insider wasn't paved with Ivy League credentials or natural genius-it was built on calculated risks, relentless learning, and the courage to pursue dreams that exceeded her abilities. Her father's call sign was "Goose," an F-4 Phantom pilot whose squadron's cockpit recordings ended up in Top Gun. Her mother started a preschool in Alaska, creating richness from ordinary circumstances. From them, Hiatt learned something crucial: your ambitions should always exceed your natural abilities. That imbalance isn't a weakness-it's your competitive advantage.
