Dr. Elisa Magill interviews author and podcaster Jason Freeman and discusses his personal journey of overcoming a speech impediment and coordination issues, finding his purpose in inspiring others, and the importance of perseverance in achieving long-term goals. They highlighted the need for self-compassion and avoiding instant gratification. They also emphasized the transformative power of yoga in fostering physical and mental flexibility. Later, they discussed the importance of having a 'marathon mindset' in life and work, setting realistic and achievable goals, and the need for replenishment and reenergizing. They highlighted the significance of learning from mistakes and everyone's immense potential.

Jason Freeman is a notable speaker who invites his audiences to explore powerful perspectives on performance and resilience by embracing their individual uniqueness, repurposing mistakes and demonstrating how to navigate through challenges with greater confidence and creativity.  He inspires courageousness in the face of a rapidly changing world.  

Jason's presentation style is a dynamic hybrid of an outlined presentation (complete with PowerPoint slides from an award-winning graphic designer) and spontaneous co-creation with the audience to keep content fresh and address their individual needs.  He brings a witty sense of clean humor and an infectious atmosphere of fun.  Jason is also a bit of an enigma because he has a pronounced speech impediment as the result of a birth injury which only heightens his ability to communicate and resonate with his audiences, often for years to come.  

Beyond the speaking jazz, Jason is a podcaster, a coach, an avid writer, and a voracious photographer.  His book is entitled "Awkwardly Awesome: Embracing My Imperfect Best".
