I currently manage multiple Amazon brands accounts and it requires weekly meetings with the brand owners who are very smart people. At first I was very worried about my stutter but honestly nobody cares if you have a stutter! As long as I am getting the job done and doing a good job communicating via email and text they really don’t care. Edit: I’ve been dealing with 7-8 figure brand owners and not one person has ever cared about my stutter. They treat me as a human being and respect me still. I live my life as if my stutter isn’t even there and never bring it up to people and people will treat you as if you don’t have a stutter. I let my stutter hold me back all of my childhood and I hated life. Once I was an adult I said fuck it the people who care I stutter shouldn’t be in my life anyways. Cut the toxic people out and next thing you know you are surrounded by peers who respect you no matter what.
