141: Unprofessionally Professional with Benjamin Sklivas

"Our story is the one unique thing that we each have… Whether it's big or small, don't hide that kind of thing. That's something that makes you, YOU as an individual." -Benjamin Sklivas

What if you were born to live as another human being? Sounds as if you are in a fiction movie, doesn't it? Yet in reality, our society forces us to live according to its norms and standards. We have to follow our "prescribed titles" or we become outcasts. This week, Ted and Benjamin Sklivas share how to fit in without sacrificing who we truly are. Before becoming a digital nomad and Director of Business Development, Benjamin felt overwhelming emotions and heard every negative opinion there is about having ADHD. He also experienced loss after loss, discouragements, and failures which pushed him lower than he already felt. Listen in as he shares how he turned these adversities into his superpower and how staying unprofessionally professional helped him to advance in life and in his career. If you are dealing with ADHD or other medical conditions, Benjamin also gives crucial warnings and practical suggestions about taking medications. Own your story. Breathe your identity. Live fully!
