Episode #25 #MACONADIFFERENCE
Life After a Stroke

"I focus on what I can do. And I have this 80/20 rule. What I mean is 20% of my work gets 80% of what I need. So with the 20% that I've learned how to do, I can do 80% of what I need to." - Brandon Macon, 2023

 

DESCRIPTION

Today, we're talking to Brandon Macon. He is a stroke survivor with aphasia and tells us how he lives and thrives despite his aphasia. Communication is not the words you speak but the tone, body language, and other things that communicate with you and others.
