About my guest Byron Athene:
Byron has been interested in the fields of philosophy and psychology since 1991. He had a debilitating stutter his whole life but developed a growth mindset, trained to become a therapist, coach and has now developed his own therapeutic approach. Byron is also a trainer and author but would firstly describe himself as a philosopher.
