Turtles Can Win with Dr Paul Johnson

Dr. Paul Johnson’s new memoir, Turtles Can Win: How Learning Differences Taught Me to Run My Own Race and Still Cross the Finish Line, shares his remarkable journey from being a student with undiagnosed learning differences who nearly failed out of school to eventually earning three master's degrees and a doctorate from the University of Southern California. In this interview we discuss: - the book, of course - how labels can shape a child’s identity and future - recognizing learning differences as an adult - the strengths of neurodivergent learners - what it means to “run your own race” - and more! I know that every listener will enjoy this conversation. I found his parting wisdom especially surprising and something I’m definitely planning to take action on! Check out Dr. Paul R.
