Success is Over-narrated

Let’s Normalize Failure.

Here, failure isn’t a flaw in the story, it’s the plot. We share drafts, compare notes, and turn missteps into momentum, building outcomes that last.

The Truth That No One Tells

Every success stands on a stack of failures; and the hardest part isn’t the destination, it’s finding the road there. People celebrate winners and treat failure as insignificant, feeding the unrealistic belief that we must get it right on the first try. Reverse School exists to flip that bias, accepting failures as normal, meaningful lessons, and highlighting the journey of pivoting from setbacks toward success. By tracing those messy pivots, we learn how to course-correct, stay motivated, shed the fear of failing, and steadily build our way to real success.

About The School

Reverse School turns failure into learning. We document real setbacks and pivots, distill takeaways, and share them via web, socials, and live sessions, engaging 1,000+ youth and a 100,000+ online community.

Principal of the School — Monsurul Aziz

A strategic communications leader with 17+ years across fintech, telecom, and banking, Monsurul has built brands at national scale while working shoulder-to-shoulder with founders and cross-functional product teams. At Nagad, Bangladesh’s fastest-scaling MFS, he led brand and growth initiatives from launch, steering award-winning campaigns and large community narratives that reached tens of millions. Earlier chapters at Robi Axiata, Prime Bank, Mutual Trust Bank, and Bangladesh Brand Forum grounded him in consumer insight, research-led strategy, and executional discipline.

UnDo — Turning Setbacks into Next Steps

UnDo is Reverse School’s recurring, hybrid program that makes failure discussable and useful.

Each session brings a practitioner and learners together to unpack one real case, what went wrong, what was tried, what finally worked; and distill clear takeaways.
Co-created with EMK Center & AD Reach, UnDo sessions are recorded and summarized so anyone can learn, anywhere.
