Ep 156 Interview Sessions with Sylvia Farbstein

<p>On episode 156 I am joined by Sylvia Farbstein, speaker, Mother and Business Manager for Brandon Farbstein.</p> <p>Sylvia has spent the last 2 decades learning how life presents us with unexpected twists and turns that can shake us to our core, stop us in our tracks or provide a catalyst for exciting change. Her professional world took a leap from the predictable and defined realm of private banking in New York City to one of few answers and no blueprint when her son, 22-year-old Brandon, was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism. Their experiences navigating a world not built for somebody like him prompted them to seek out ways to neither be confined nor defined by limitations, perceived or otherwise. This has lead to an entrepreneurial career path for both mother and son that has impacted millions of lives.</p> <p>In the episode you will hear:</p> <p>04:00 enthralled with curiosity</p> <p>08:30 what about a Segway</p> <p>11:30 changing the lens</p> <p>13:30 elevating empathy</p> <p>16:00 a kids book about self love</p> <p>20:30 empathy for bullies</p> <p>23:30 belief, grace and a village</p> <p>30:30 hope in the grand scheme of things</p> <p>33:00 letting go</p> <p>33:30 speak beyond words</p> <p><br></p> <p>I hope this conversation inspires the empathy and curiosity within you.</p> <p>Thank you for listening and please do share with someone whose curiosity you wish to inspire too.</p> <p>Always love</p> <p>Ryan</p> <p><br></p> <p>Connect with Sylvia</p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/speakbeyondwords/"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/speakbeyondwords/</strong></a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/speakbeyondwords/"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/speakbeyondwords/</strong></a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylviafarbstein/"><strong>https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylviafarbstein/</strong></a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Connect with Brandon</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://brandonfarbstein.com/"><strong>https://brandonfarbstein.com/</strong></a></p> <p>Inst
