Dyslexia has gotten me into some pretty embarrassing—and hilarious—situations. In this episode of LD Lee, I share five things I’ve accidentally said, what I really meant, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is laugh at yourself.

LD Lee is a storyteller and podcast host passionate about real people, meaningful purpose, and life’s possibilities. Through honest conversations with guests from all walks of life, LD explores the experiences, challenges, and defining moments that shape who we become.

We were at a high school football game when I started talking with a friend’s daughter who was home from nursing school. She told me she was taking microbiology, so I confidently said, “You’re going to learn so much about orgasms!”

What I meant to say was organisms. What actually came out was something completely different! 😂

Her parents gave me the strangest look, and I didn’t even realize what I had said until my wife explained it in the car. That’s life with dyslexia—sometimes one little mix-up creates a story your family will never let you forget!

Social intelligence can be a true superpower for people with dyslexia and learning disabilities. In this clip, we explore how connecting with others, reading the room, and communicating naturally can become some of our greatest strengths.

In this episode of the LD Lee Podcast, Lee shares his personal journey of growing up with a learning disability, facing challenges, and discovering that learning differently does not mean you are any less intelligent or capable. Through honest conversation and encouragement, Lee reminds listeners that their struggles do not define their future—and that sometimes the qualities that make us different become our greatest strengths.

“Welcome back to the LD Lee Podcast. Today’s episode is a pretty special one for me, because we’re coming to you from the wrestling room at Independence High School—just a few steps away from the classrooms where my guest and I grew up together.

Joe Malugian and I were classmates, and Joe’s one of those guys you don’t forget. He’s big, strong and athletic, with an even bigger smile and an even bigger heart. He’s kind, genuine, fiercely loyal, and just one of those people you’re glad to know.

But just like me, school wasn’t always easy for Joe. Today we’re going to talk about learning differently, growing up together, the struggles nobody always saw—and how those experiences helped shape the men we became.

So from the wrestling room, welcome my old classmate and my friend, Joe Malugian, to the LD Lee Podcast.”

The conversation explores the themes of first impressions and misconceptions, highlighting the impact of initial perceptions and the subsequent realization of their inaccuracy.
