I’m a lawyer. Law school was rough. One professor told me I should drop out because of my speech. That made me angry enough to keep going—partly just to prove this guy wrong. Things were difficult at ...

You can still be that person. Life is short bro. I’m not saying it’s easy but I still do these things even though I stutter. It’s who I am. You can’t hide your whole life and wait till we’re 90 and sa...
