Hello, world. Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love, number 421. I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every day, I interview someone around the world who shares how she's discovered her

talents to do work she loves to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom. We created

this podcast to provide you with the insight, strategies, and tools to propel your career to the next

level. At a young age, her daughter's passion for becoming a teacher was clear to

Mira. When the school said her daughter was not college material, Mira was heartbroken, but it also

around the world what you're doing now that has you engaged and excited. Well, so what I'm doing now is, yes, that our daughter's story was, you know, a bit heartbreaking as a parent to be able to be told that really she wasn't college material. And believe me, certainly not everyone is, but she had her heart set on it. She seemed really smart. It was certainly something that didn't seem so out of reach.

And that was 20 years ago. And I would love to tell you that that's not said anymore, but every single day, I do this work in partnership with my husband and some other professionals that we've trained that work with us, a 3-D learner.

Every day we hear this heartbreaking story that parents come in and say, oh, my teachers or someone else said something about the fact that my kid is not successful at something or my child is anxious and not happy about learning or school or life even.
