Description
Growing up with learning disabilities can massively alter the course of our lives. We can either let them bring us down, or we can use them as motivation. Recent studies have shown that 40% of billionaires are dyslexic. Is there a correlation between the two? Is there a way to change our outlook on our “weaknesses” to instead see them as our strengths? Today Ammar and Thomas talk to Cliff, the founder of Speechify, a company that aims to turn the written word to audio and in the process, helps those struggling with dyslexia. They discuss how Cliff overcame his own learning disabilities, how to turn your weakness into your greatest asset, and Ammar and Thomas's journey with dyslexia. Want more Yes Theory? Yes.

Introducing: The Yes Theory Podcast: Welcome to Yes Theory — the audio experience. We’re your hosts Thomas Brag, Ammar Kandil, and Matt Dajer. You may know us from our YouTube channel with the same name, or maybe not. We believe the best things in life are outside your comfort zone. We’re talking about meaning, connection, you know all the good stuff. Over the last 5 years, we’ve made a habit of seeking discomfort and creating videos about it. We’ve had the unthinkable honor of traveling around the world, conquering everyday fears - with friends, strangers, celebrities, and each other. In this show, we’re going to reflect on some of the experiences we’ve never shared before, digging into our own personal archives. We’ll also be chatting with expert guests and friends to find out why this idea of “seeking discomfort” is so powerful. We’re super excited to bring you this show.
