Ben and I had an amazing conversation about anxiety and also learning disabilities including dyslexia. He has struggled for years and has found some good tools to help him as he grows into adulthood. Ben is determined and dedicated to not only self-help, but to being available to others. I really enjoyed our conversation and I also know he will do amazing things through his life.
