Oh man, are you going to love this interview today. I got a chance to sit down with Leslie Pitt Schneider: lawyer, former executive, writer, lover of life and founder of Project Lolo. I met Leslie years ago as she was embarking on the journey of starting her own non-profit and leaving her corporate job. She talks about the toxicity of her job, how it started to affect her self worth and health and how none of it was worth it. Leslie tells us her story about losing her limb at age of 6 and having to live with a prosthetic – which is now a major inspiration for Project Lolo, which helps children who need orthopedic care or assistive mobility devices because of congenital deformities, illness or injuries. We also talk about using the word special abilities and not disabilities and her new book that is meant to inspire children to own their uniqueness. I love this woman and I love her work. This interview is great for anyone who wants to feel inspired that their dream matters and learn how to go after it.
