See the world of indie comics through the eyes of writer, Brandon Ingram of Dismay Comics on this episode of And I Quote. We will also be taking your questions! Ever since Brandon bought a shoebox containing a mishmash of 70s and 80s comics from a yard sale in my childhood, he's been hooked on the idea of superheroes and their worlds.

On this episode of And I Quote: Ryan talk with autistic leadership coach, Rob Hodes of My Autism Gifts. We'll also be taking your questions! Rob Hodes grew up in Long Island, NY with undiagnosed Autism. When he was learning to speak during childhood he could only say vowels, not consonants. He had very few friends and was bullied incessantly as his stuttering continued until his late teens. He had very low self-esteem, self-confidence, depression, an inability to maintain relationships and a deep distrust of other people and life in general. He didn't know then that many of those things were symptoms of Autism.In 1984 he was "sick of the rat race" and started taking personal development courses. He's taken courses from Tony Robbins, Toastmasters International, Peak Potentials, Landmark Education, Dave Ramsey, Michael Beckwith, A Course in Miracles and many others.This was an investment in learning about the roadblocks he'd created himself, roadblocks that kept him from living his life to its fullest potential. A lifetime of misinformation took thousands of hours of education to assist him in communicating with confidence, rebuilding his self-confidence and self-esteem, and healing numerous internal wounds he collected along the way. He accomplished this by 1) Asking himself the proper questions which unraveled the many interconnected parts to reconstruct his self-confidence/self-esteem etc. 2) Learning how to connect with others so they trusted him and HIS leadership. At Toastmasters International (TI) after he mastered how to communicate with conviction, he led two different clubs to earn the highest award that TI offered its clubs within the same year! Neither club had earned any awards from TI the year before.Rebuilding HIMSELF has led to HIS life's passion of assisting others to achieve things that they thought were unachievable.His personal mission statement is to inspire individuals on the Autism Spectrum to defy societal labeling by taking strategic action to achieve their goals and dreams by using their unique gifts by authentically sharing HIS life story. Before 1984 misperceptions and bullies led to devastating self-doubt and an extremely limiting self-image and self-worth that was not authentic. Now he has the power of infinite self-worth and dreams without limits that he brings to others.Follow Rob Hodes on Social Media:Website: https://www.myautismgifts.com/Follow Ryan on Social Media:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/ryanandiquote Make Sure to LIKE, COMMENT, & SUBSCRIBE!Nerd Culture MERCH!!! www.nerdculture.threadless.comHWWS NC Merch - https://hwwswebtv.threadless.com/designDONATE to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/itsnerdcultureFollow:Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/itsnerdculture/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsnerdcultureTwitter :https://twitter.com/itsNerdCultureFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/itsnerdculture
