Willie Blake was diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, around six or seven years old. The label changed how his friends treated him and how the school system saw him. He spent years feeling like he had to work twice as hard just to catch up, and like the only way to earn his place was to become the person who did everything for everyone else.In this episode of Thirty Minutes of Power, Willie and Jori talk about what it costs to lead with the thing you were taught to hide, why "flip flop" was the insult he got for growing and changing, and the exact system he built, the 2% Rule, that took him from reading one book a year to reading fifty and sixty. He now coaches people to turn what they see as a disadvantage into what he calls an untrained advantage.What we cover: — Getting labeled in first grade and the story he started telling himself about who he was — What it cost him the day he decided to stop hiding his dyslexia and lead with it instead — The 2% Rule: why small, uncomfortable daily action beats "just do it" or chasing 100 percent — Turning ten years of trial and error into a system other people can use in ten days — His book, Break Free, and the twelve limitations it namesAbout Willie Blake: Willie Blake is a coach who helps people turn what they see as a disadvantage into a trained advantage.
