204: David Rendall—The Freak Factor: Discovering Uniqueness by Flaunting Weakness

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style= "font-size: 24px;"><strong>Learn how to embrace your flaws to achieve success</strong></span></p> <p>This was an unexpectedly powerful interview. David Rendall has literally turned lemons into lemonade. As he shares with us, growing up he had a hard time fitting into the norms which his teachers and parents expected of him. He moved around too much, talked too much, and found himself always a little on the outside of what others thought was “normal.” Then he had an epiphany. He realized that what he had was a gift for turningd the things that others did not want him to do into things they loved watching him do. He took his weaknesses and turned them into strengths. In this podcast, he teaches us how to do the same. Incredible lessons here!

David tells us to think of the things that make us strange―the weaknesses that we won’t admit during a job interview or performance evaluation. Perhaps, those lemons are not sour at all. Your successes, your strengths, may be the very things that make you stand out from the crowd. </p> <p>Our parents, teachers, bosses and managers have told us that if we want to succeed, we should find and fix our weaknesses. However, this is the wrong approach, David says, because each weakness is also a strength. Listen in to our conversation to find out how to create outrageous personal and professional success by amplifying your flaws instead of denying them.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Are you embracing your inner freak, or are you hiding it in
