Ep 335 Man vs Dyslexia With Coach Willie Blake

What if the thing you were told was "wrong" with you turned out to be your greatest advantage? In this episode of The Man Space Podcast, Russ and Les sit down with high-performance coach Willie Blake, who was diagnosed with dyslexia in the first grade and spent years hiding, faking, and outrunning it—until he decided to lead with it instead. Willie opens up about growing up neurodivergent, battling comparison and self-doubt, and the exact moment he stopped seeing dyslexia as a limitation and started seeing it as a superpower. The conversation dives deep into mindset, personal growth, and practical frameworks for building unstoppable momentum—including his signature 2% Rule and GPS Goal Method for turning big, overwhelming goals into daily, actionable steps. Whether you're dealing with a learning difference, feeling stuck in comparison mode, or just need a push to get out of "park" and into motion, this episode delivers real talk, tough love, and hard-won wisdom on confidence, consistency, and self-belief. Key Takeaways:

• Reframe your "weakness" — dyslexia (and other challenges) can come with hidden strengths like creativity, pattern recognition, and empathy
• The 2% Rule: consistent small daily actions beat overwhelming, all-or-nothing goals
• The GPS Goal Method: Get clear, Plan the route (reverse-engineer from the end goal), Start moving
