Getting out of your own way: turning your fears into assets
summary
Claims that a personal stutter becomes a career asset by turning fear into a signal rather than a defect, and that actively speaking about it (begun about a year and a half before the recording) opens doors and improves professional and personal relationships. Tools: public speaking, radical transparency, and storytelling framed with examples from Haruki Murakami and a Brene Brown idea about vulnerability. Outcome: audiences respond with curiosity, people open up, and opportunities materially increase.
