What if the very things you thought would hold you back were actually your greatest strengths? In this episode, linguist-turned-CEO Kathleen Perley shares how living with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD once convinced her she could never succeed. Instead, those differences became her superpower — fueling a multimillion-dollar business, a career in AI strategy, and a passion for redefining what intelligence really means. Her story is one of resilience, rebellion, and embracing the nonlinear path to success.
