Today we are chatting with Cliff Weitzman, an American entrepreneur, and the brains and the energy behind the amazing app Speechify, a mobile and desktop text to speech voice system. Cliff was diagnosed with dyslexia aged 9 and describes it as ‘the best day of his life,' after experiencing so many struggles and hurdles with reading previously. At the time, there were no apps like Speechify to help Cliff with his reading difficulties, so he taught himself to hack computer programs to read his textbooks. Cliff landed himself at Brown University where he taught himself to code on the side. He is now a Google Student Ambassador, and a dyslexic advocate. In 2017 Cliff was named in Forbes Magazine's 30 under 30. Cliff has turned Speechify into an incredibly user-friendly app that's great for anyone "I was absolutely inspired by Cliff's story, he basically put himself through Brown University and has grown his team from 1 to over 80 and he is not even 30 years old!" says Leo. "In this podcast, Cliff talks about how to support your children with dyslexia or any other different learnings. We discuss which books to download and ultimately how to succeed when the odds are stacked against you." Show notes You can download the Speechify app from Apple or Google.

The first time our podcast has taken us over The Pond! We are thrilled to share an hour with English Football (not American Football, think soccer) Coach Ali Speechly. She speaks truth into the beautiful game and how it has evolved slower than she would like to incorporate more females into the game. She has coached youth professional teams in the UK, but is currently a youth Grassroots Club coach. Her message of engage, educate and empower is driven by her desire to help young females to believe that with hard work and a positive attitude, [girls] are capable of anything! Life has a way of taking us into our passions, and Coach Ali never planned to be a soccer coach, but her story is powerful and her mantra of "If she can see, she can be it" is one you need to hear. What does it mean to be authentic and how we can be better at it? What stereotypes of women are holding the sport back? How do you engage different learners to be their best? Tune in for this incredible hour to get answers to all these questions and more! You can find Coach Ali on Twitter @_CoachAli_. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lifeleadpg/support
