Season 4, Episode 3: Unpacking Uncomfortable Growth: Jason’s Journey of Self-Discovery

In this episode, Rowena interviews Jason Tonelli (Chief Executive Officer, Zenith Media Australia), on his Uncomfortable Growth story. Jason's story begins with a pivotal moment in his life when his parents announced their separation. This unexpected change forced him to confront the instability in his life, leading him to view the world in black and white terms. Such a perspective, while initially offering a sense of control, also distanced him emotionally from important decisions. As he navigated through this period, he began to struggle academically, ultimately discovering he had ADHD—a diagnosis that was not widely understood during his school years. Despite these challenges, Jason has come to view his ADHD as a 'superpower' that has driven his resilience and adaptability in both personal and professional realms.
