This is awesome. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I used to experience secondhand embarrassment from hearing others stutter as it reminded me of what I must have sounded like to others. I'm glad I naturally no longer feel that embarrassment and I'm gaining that cold hardened exterior for not giving a flying \*\*\*\* about perceptions I can't control. Stuttering only presents as a nuisance when it gets in the way of barely being able to speak which I still get now and again...other than that it is bearable now. Congrats to this man for doing the interview.
