Ep 75: Finding my life’s purpose whilst living with Tourette’s with Luke Manton

To be diagnosed with Tourette's after brain damage in his early 20s is a twist Luke Manton never expected.

Luke has had to experience this condition and live in a world that discriminated against him for who he’s now become.

This led Luke to attempting to end his own life, but in doing so he later found that he was loved so much, my so many. 💙

Since then he has

💙harnessed his adversity
💙created his own path and purpose
💙become the leader of an 8 person business
💙a Linkedln celebrity and has given a TED talk!

But as you will hear there is more joy and happiness to come....

This episode had us both crying on the show itself.

To me Luke is a hero and someone I am massively inspired by, look up to, and take enormous strength from.

My tears were just of pure admiration - I’m honoured to have him in the show. 😭
