About this episode
Larry Stein shares his transformative journey from struggling with stuttering to becoming a professional speaker and mentor.
Today's featured guest is Larry Stein. Larry Stein struggled with stuttering for 50 years, compromising his career and suffering debilitating depressions. In an effort to save the business of his dreams, he launched a drive to improve his speech that far exceeded his expectations. Over the next two years, he relearned to speak, retrained his brain and worked through speaking situations that once paralyzed him. Today, he runs his dream business, is a professional speaker, an author, and mentors' people who stutter on nearly every continent of the world at no charge. I believe that there is healing in sharing, and I want to thank Larry Stein for sharing his story with me today.
