#HashtagFAIL

A live-style story told in parts

by Chef Youngbrody

What if failing wasn’t the end of the story?

#HashtagFAIL is a live-style storytime experience about failure, growth, and showing up anyway. It’s told in parts, inspired by the way creators share real moments today — out loud, in motion, and in real time.

This isn’t a traditional storybook.
It’s a story you sit with.

Through personal episodes from Chef Youngbrody’s early TV experiences, creative risks, and kitchen lessons, #HashtagFAIL explores what it means to learn in public — and keep going.

HashFAIL: Chef YoungBrody

  • follows a cheetah character named YoungBrody who dreams of baking greatness, faces public flops in cooking competitions, and learns from his experiences.

  • It is described as a "kids' baking-meets-storytime book" that blends humor, sugar, and heart, aimed at teaching children (and adults) about resilience and the idea that failure is part of the recipe for success.

  • Early readers have praised the unique way it reads, its characters, and how it incorporates a "live stream aspect" into the narrative.
