Great q, thank you. I learned that I was not the empathetic person I thought I was. I had spent a lifetime completely unaware of the challenges of living with disfluency and how I had contributed to those challenges by interrupting, making fun of people when they tripped on words, etc (as a teenager). I learned a lot about who I wanted to become as a grown man - an advocate and a fighter on behalf of those who were not given enough of a platform in the world, or not given the space to be themselves.
