Ep 75: Finding my life’s purpose whilst living with Tourette’s with Luke Manton

To be diagnosed with Tourette's after brain damage in his early 20s is a twist Luke Manton never expected. Luke has had to experience this condition and live in a world that discriminated against him for who he’s now become. This led Luke to attempting to end his own life, but in doing so he later found that he was loved so much, my so many. 💙 Since then he has 💙harnessed his adversity 💙created his own path and purpose 💙become the leader of an 8 person business 💙a Linkedln celebrity and has given a TED talk! But as you will hear there is more joy and happiness to come.... This episode had us both crying on the show itself. To me Luke is a hero and someone I am massively inspired by, look up to, and take enormous strength from. My tears were just of pure admiration - I’m honoured to have him in the show. 😭   “Tourette’s was my parting gift from brain damage” – Luke Manton   You'll hear about:   00:00 – Start 00:37 - An introduction to Luke 01:53 - How Tourette’s affected Luke's life 04:48 - Disadvantage and disrespect cause by Tourette’s 08:04 - How Luke has coped with the dark times 13:36 - Luke on his upbringing 16:46 - Luke on his sexuality 21:25 - Did Tourette’s influence Luke's purpose? 27:30 - How has Luke's mental health been impacted? 32:26 - Luke's growth out of the darkness 39:47 - How Luke has handled social media fame 44:30 - Treating people like people 48:12 - Luke on therapy 50:14 - Luke's partnership with George 54:39 - Luke's experience giving a TED talk   Luke’s resources:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukemantonme/ Manton Executives - https://www.mantonexecutives.com/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mantonexecutives/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mantonexecutives/?hl=en   My resources: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/itschrisoconnell/ X - https://twitter.com/ChrisOConnell11 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ TikTok - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ZWYrxrzzaElmpZMy5S86w Basemindset website - https://basemindset.com/
