Adrian Phillips

Historian Adrian Phillips, author of works on British royalty during WWII, shares insights on King George VI's struggles with his stutter and public speaking. Seth Tichenor, a speech-language pathologist, discusses the emotional challenges faced by individuals with speech impediments in public roles. The conversation dives into the spotlight effect—how we overestimate others' scrutiny of our mistakes—highlighting that often, our blunders barely register with those around us. It's a blend of history and psychology that reminds us to embrace our imperfections.
