In this episode Phil Rose talks Matt Cox. Matt is a serial entrepreneur, coach and consultant who was once labelled ‘slow’ by teachers at school. That prompted him, after a number of years, to look at the choices he really had in life. He could live with the label as a burden or look for ways to make the most of the gifts he has.
