In this episode of The Phoenix Mind with Lisa Manzo, Sam Mitchell — motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and host of the award-winning podcast Autism Rocks and Rolls — shares his inspiring journey of redefining what it means to live with autism. Diagnosed as a child, Sam turned stigma into empowerment, building a platform that celebrates neurodiversity and the message that he is not broken and does not need to be fixed.

With over 21,000 downloads, major guests like Dr. Temple Grandin, NASCAR’s Armani Williams, and WWE legend Mick Foley, and a TED Talk titled Souled Structure, Sam’s mission has reached audiences around the world. Through his nonprofit and podcast, he’s breaking stereotypes, promoting mental health awareness, and reminding listeners that success looks different for everyone — and that difference is what makes us extraordinary.
