Point of prevail

All successful entrepreneurs have messed up at some point in their careers. The key is to learn from those big mistakes.

That's point behind F*ckUp Nights Tampa Bay — or the family-friendly name, FUN Tampa Bay.

FUN events are hosted in more than 130 cities across 40 different countries. The first gathering in Tampa took place at CoWork Ybor Oct. 1. About 50 entrepreneurs, business executives and students gathered to learn from intellectual property and corporate law attorney Brent Britton, retailer Scott Moore and tech executive Chuck Papageorgiou on their biggest mistakes. Here's a glimpse at their failures and lessons learned.
