We interviewed Amanda Graham, Speaker and Writer about how her struggles and hardships led her to introspection, and ultimately transformation. Amanda discusses her journey through a personal crisis, what she learned from Steve Jobs' motivational advice, and how working on her internal issues helped her leverage her gifts and abilities. She emphasizes the importance of introspection, self-analysis, and accepting one's neurodivergence. The episode concludes with a Speed Round: Matters, Not Matters, where Amanda shares her thoughts on creativity, storytelling, comedy, and more.
