Tavis Smiley is better known for his successes — as talk show host, author, and political commentator — than his failures. However, in his new book, “Fail Up,” Smiley argues that his many misadventures were crucial in shaping his achievements. Smiley’s PBS television talk show airs Monday through Friday at 2pm on KQED 9. He joins us in the studio.
