Well today on the show, I’m excited to take a deep-dive into the personal story of one of America’s most beloved television personalities. He and his team have been instrumental in transforming the lives of families throughout the nation, and it’s my privilege to share his own story of overcoming personal struggles and obstacles in order to find success by doing what matters most: helping others. And he is star of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” as well as TLC’s wildly popular show, “Trading Spaces,” Ty Pennington. As a kid, Ty Pennington had too much energy. He was chaotic, bouncing off the walls, and on a first-name basis with the local emergency room staff. Back then there wasn't public awareness of attention deficit disorder yet. People just thought Ty was rambunctious, and truth be told, trouble maker. But Ty discovered something amazing when he was just a boy: he felt most focused when he was building something. He discovered that he loved to work with his hands—to use tools and be creative to build and design new things. In today’s conversation, Ty shares his remarkable life story in which he remembers when he was diagnosed with ADHD in college, and what it has meant to be an advocate for ADHD awareness. You’ll hear about his start as a model and carpenter, and his eventual move to television where he starred in two of America’s most popular television shows. I trust, through Ty’s own story, that you’ll learn how to navigate obstacles when they get in your path, how to get out of your own way, and how to position yourself for success.
