Summary
Jake and Damian invite a very special young listener Raffi, and his mum Mel, onto the show to talk about the power of conditions like autism and ADHD and how they can unlock creativity, focus, and drive, traits seen in so many high performers.
11 year old Raffi comes prepped with his very own high performance questions for Jake and Damian!
Together, they challenge the idea that being different is a drawback, showing instead how it can be a powerful force for change.
