Episode Description:

This week on the podcast, Andrew meets CEO and author - Richard Jacobs. In their conversation, Andrew asks Richard what his work in behavioural therapy entails. They also discuss how conformity by its very nature will never bring out the best in us, and Richard explains why the low boredom threshold he gets from ADHD helps him inject more passion into everything he does.

About the host:

The Invisible Gift is hosted by entrepreneur and dyslexic, Andrew Kitley. With twenty years experience, Andrew Kitley has worked his way up the metaphorical and literal ladder to become Managing Director of Kitall: an engineering firm.

Under Andrew's guidance, Kitall is now one of the most sought after names to complete complex engineering projects in the UK. In each episode of The Invisible Gift, Andrew seeks the advice and inspiration of a fellow trailblazer who has defied the odds to achieve the extraordinary - turning the challenge of dyslexia into a gift.
