Todd Hartley's ADHD Journey from Underestimated to Unstoppable
Manage episode 411713595 series 3450659
I was so inspired listening to Todd Hartley share his story of overcoming learning disabilities and ADHD. As a fellow ADHDer, I could relate to many of the challenges he faced growing up, from feeling "stupid" to being excluded from proper education support. But Todd's resilience and passion are what fueled his incredible transformation. His parents played a pivotal role in nurturing his gifts, like storytelling and public speaking, which led him to eventually work with Tony Robbins and become a highly successful entrepreneur and speaker.
Todd's vulnerability in sharing his darkest moments, like crying at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the U of A's SALT Center, was so moving. It reminded me that we all have the power to rewrite our stories and become the best versions of ourselves through personal growth, humility, and a relentless commitment to excellence. I'm honored to have had Todd on the podcast and share his inspiring journey with you all.
