That’s the kinda a man you need running a company. Very straightforward and not afraid to put ‘the truth’ out there (taking the hit). Impressive.

Massive respect to this man, even if his books weren’t great he showed how neurodiversity can be an asset not a curse and delivered one of the best pitches I’ve ever seen!

@user-oe1mb9hu9i 6 месяцев назад

If he did have neurodiversity he wouldn't (simply couldn't) be standing there on TV. Too many creeps going aeound claiming disability. All he's doing is selling clothes - the reason he can't grow anymore is that ALL the clothes makers ALREADY make XL, XXL and XXXL clothing. He's created nothing new and certainly not a USP by patting himself on the back and telling everyone and anyone that he suffers from autism. LOL.

@jolin8493 5 месяцев назад

Our trusted leadership of society says all out of ordinary is a curse, a diagnosis, a diability. Its crazy

@user-oe1mb9hu9i 5 месяцев назад

@@jolin8493 They have to make up some sort of story to try and get the people's attention, so how's about strongly exaggerating some small mishap that some fool doctor diagnosed for lack of anything else. Pitiful. But hey: He came ion for an investment and he got one. It's all in the art of selling your story and making it "credible". Nothing else.

This shows the talent in neurodiversity. It is important society becomes awake. Thankfully, there are large organisations who have changed their HR processes to invite such talent but there is a long way to go !!!

@FateBoost 6 месяцев назад

Stigma going away finally. Whilst some neurodivergent people can unfortunately be a ‘burden’ to a company and sometimes hired just to fill quotas. Others can perform much better than colleagues with the correct support in place.
