SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
What if someone isn’t struggling because they lack ability, but because they’ve been given the wrong pathway to learn?
Roger Francis sits down with longtime friend, entrepreneur, and Kompete Nutrition co-founder James Asher for a personal conversation about dyslexia, resilience, confidence, and learning differently.
James shares his experience navigating school with dyslexia, learning to process information in ways that worked for him, and eventually applying those strengths to entrepreneurship and business. Along the way, he reflects on the parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors who helped him recognize that learning differently did not mean lacking potential.
Together, Roger and James explore how IQ and EQ work together, why leaders should build on people’s strengths instead of focusing solely on their weaknesses, and how different ways of thinking can bring enormous value to an organization.
The bigger leadership question is simple: Are we questioning someone’s potential, or are we willing to question the environment we’ve created for them?
