I know what you are talking about. I was in the same position 1st to 9th grade. School was pain. Reading aloud was a pain. Presentations were a pain! Talking with friends wasn't that bad, though. An...

Hey bud, I know how you feel. I’ve been there. Just wanna say there is no reason to get desperate. At 20 years old, I wouldn’t be able to even come close to “accepting” it. It’s hard to picture it n...

I train and present at work. Since I stutter, I practice the hell out of my presentations. That helps me cut the fat, clarify things and answer questions before they are asked. If I did not stutter...

I am grateful that I went through this pain at an early age. It taught me discipline, it toughed me up, forced me to not laze about and is the reason I started my business. However, I can't say that m...
