 I think a lot of people I've talked to, they had these really intense interests, skills, brilliant proficiencies, even at like very young ages. But it's translating that into, well, how can I make the most out of this? How can I craft my life around it? And what are you doing now? You're doing it now? Yeah. Well, it's, you know, I fill my life with things that I enjoy and I'm passionate about. But I think it's also, you know, worth paying attention to the fact that we really don't have the support systems in place that for everybody, you know, they may come from sort of more of a low income background. You know, I'm quite privileged in the fact that I've had the ability to explore my interests and ideals. You know, I didn't pay for my Mac. My parents bought it like quite a while ago for university. Now, everyone gets to have that. And some people really don't really have any options when it comes to employment. Sort of in the short term, they don't really see a way to realize that. I think it's important because I mean, just thinking about the way that we, you know, if we're sort of going into like employment rather than being self-employed, I think there is a very heavy emphasis on the deficit model when it comes to employment. What are you bad at? What can we, what can we, what can we improve that you're bad at? And so they put all these adjustments in place and they're like, OK, so now it's tolerable. I can tolerate it. Great. That's not a brilliant way to live your life being tolerable of what you're doing. And I think one thing that the organization that I work for has done exceptionally well with is not having that deficit mindset and actually thinking, hey, look, hey, Thomas is really good at making videos and Thomas is really good at speaking and presenting. Why are we not, why are we not getting involved in the areas of work that involve speaking and presenting and making videos? And so I mean, it's really hard because, you know, you have these job descriptions, the employment sheets there, and you also have these governmental systems that are put in place that kind of guide workplaces. And when you present something that could actually be beneficial for both you and the organization, because it doesn't fit into that model, they kind of dismiss it. And I think, you know, I'm sure you've experienced things like that within employment and. If you're unspecialized, the only thing you have to trade is your labor. And when you're in that scenario, you are susceptible to the dictates and the whims of a corporation. Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is great because the free market decides whether you're good or you're not. And what was I going to say? I was going to say something on one second. So the free market decides who's good and who isn't and it rewards exceptionalism and merit. And I think it lends itself much better to us. Like I say, you know, you know, employers will make reasonable adjustments. But I take quite a conservative outlook on things. And I think that people can become the very best version of themselves if you remove the barriers out of the way. And, you know, neurodiverse people need to realize that you're not defective. There's nothing wrong with you. You have some exceptional skills. And just if you go with them and believe in yourself, you can achieve pretty much anything. I can't remember any time being totally honest when I've when I've had any encouragement or support. Everything I've done has been off my own volition and my own on my own initiative. I think it's all a mindset. If you if you think you can't, you won't. And if you think you can, you probably will. Yeah. And obviously, there's all sorts of, you know, personal sort of experiences and privileges and things that we can have in life that kind of give us a leg up and get us started. And I think a lot of people who don't have that opportunity and don't sort of have that sort of positive outlook on themselves and their skills, they can get into like the mid 20s and they can see everyone around them, get in a job, moving out of their home, all of these societal expectations. And they kind of mount up on you. They kind of they push you down in like, they present this massive gap between what people are expecting you to do and what you're doing. And sometimes it's just about realizing that a lot of the stuff out there, a lot of the advice, a lot of the support out there, it's not geared towards us. It's not. It's geared towards everyone else. And when someone says that you should, you should not live with your parents because you're supposed to be an adult and you should be out at 18 and you should be working a job five days a week, getting the money in to survive. Well, you're not. I mean, we have difficulties with, you know, we're disabled just by being autistic in a society that's not built for us. Do you know something, though, Thomas, like I'm going to play devil's advocate with you on that point because it's something that's really important to me. And I've had this conversation a lot with people. I've received no privilege. I'm from Stoke-on-Trent. It's one of the poorest wards in the country. I left school with no GCSEs. I had an undiagnosed disability. I was in brushes with the law more than once when I was younger. So I had every disadvantage that I was, you know, I was, I was male. I'd got every disadvantage against me. I'm not saying that, you know, I'm great or whatever. But I think if you've got a belief that you can do better and you're willing to put the work in, I don't think anything is unattainable. But like I said before, I'm only talking from my experience. It doesn't mean it's universally true. It's just what I have found true for me. That's all. Yeah. And I agree with you. I think, I think all of these, these, these privileges and things that we have they shorten the timescale of things like, you know, perhaps for me, I want to start a podcast. Right. Okay. My parents bought me a Mac. I can, I bought a microphone. Someone may not have that. They might have to work for a couple of years, get enough stable income to save enough, get a stable income to earn a Mac, and then get to a point where they're always kind of, everyone's on like a different timescale. You can see YouTubers, people, celebrities out there age 21, age 18, pretty much at the height of their career. And you can be like, oh my God, like I haven't even thought about which job I want to go for. Or, you know, or you might be the opposite. And you might already have a plan set out and you might already be like, oh my God, like I haven't even thought about which job I want to go for. You might have a plan set out and you might already be in motion and you might already have the resources that you need to do that. So I think there's just a really, really important thing of knowing that in the long term, if you work on it slowly and you chip away at what you want to do, you learn things, you reach out to supports that you can make it. Maybe not in the timescale that you want to, but your time will come just with that grit and the delayed gratification and being aware that you're not living on the same timescale as your neighbour. You know, that's important. There's loads of people who are like age 50 who start their career there and they didn't do anything up until that point. I'm 40 this year and I can honestly tell you that only in like maybe the last three to four years have I really came into my most productive and successful period because what you said was absolutely spot on. It's about being consistent, doing the same things again over a long period of time. That's what I think equates to a big win and that's what I've found. It's been, I think in all in all, I was in education for like 12 years, just continually learning, learning, learning, learning. And it's just about, like I say, just having an idea of roughly where you want to go, setting a plan in place and then executing on that plan. I mean, you know, I work, I do, you know, it is physiotherapy, but I do a lot of sort of like lifestyle coaching with people and I say to a lot of them, OK, what do you want? And OK, like, well, I want this, I want to be happy. And I go, OK, well, what does happiness look like to you? Can you be specific? And they're like, uh, no, I think you have to have a very specific idea of what you want. And then when you have that, the rest all kind of falls into place and you have to be consistent in the way you work towards it. That's what I have. You can't just trudge on through the wilderness with no direction. You need to know where you're going, where you are in order to make a, it doesn't need to be like a really highly specific, like a smart goal. You don't need to have this highly specific thing, but you could have, you know, at least a checklist, like a few bullet points. Where do I want to be in, you know, in the future and not sort of basing that off what other people expect you to do in that timeframe? It's not a race. What you said before, it's not a race. You're on your own timeframe. And I think comparison can be the thief of joy sometimes because let's say in this age of social media, we're always looking around what everybody else is doing and then reflecting that back to ourselves, you're on your own track and you're going to achieve it in your own time. And I think that can be really, that can be really beneficial to a lot of people, just to focus on yourself and what you're doing. Yeah. And I think it's hard, isn't it? Because people listen to this podcast, listen to me and you talking about the place that we're at now. And, you know, we think, because the only people that we really see and the only person we really hear, are the people who have already made it to a certain point where they're happy with what they're doing and they've got things established. But just by the nature of that, you don't hear from the people who are in the works. Like there could be amazing people in the works right now. Nobody knows about them doing their thing, building themselves up over a long period of time and then they get to a point and then they're successful and then people hear from them and then people see the benefits of what they've sold. Like, you're not going to go up to a random who's at Taekwondo that you don't know nothing about and say, wow, you're so great, even if they're not. But, you know, in the same vein, that person over time developing themselves, building, learning, they could be a world champion. They could be a national champion. They could be an international champion. They could be succeeding in these areas. But you never know. We're only presented with those people who are kind of have everything at that point. And everyone, you know, this is a game with the time scales. Not everyone's there yet. And that's okay. It's not expected for everyone to be at their peak because that's just not reasonable. I tell you somebody that's had a large influence on me and that was my dad. He just got an MBE for his services to Taekwondo because of everything that he's done with GB. But I think people see the success over the last probably 10 years. But they don't know the story that led up to that. They don't know he started off fixing radiators before we did this workshop in Stoke where we're from. And I think he had a profound influence on me when I was younger. He just wasn't smarter than anybody else. I didn't notice that but he was a relentlessly hard worker and he would just keep going and going and going and going. So now people see what he's done with GB and how successful they've become. But they don't see all the small challenges that he had over the years doing different jobs having to win this battle, win that battle. And I think it was that sustained effort over a period of time that has led him to have the success that he has. And I think probably subconsciously when I was younger I watched that and I thought, I'm going to do that as well. And that was a key factor in me doing all the things that I've done. And have I been hugely successful? I don't know. But I think success is relative and I look back at what I have done and I think I'm happy with it. It's okay. It's good enough for me. I think I know of great analogy as you see the world champions on the first place stage. You see that picture. That's all you see of them. You don't see them having really bad days doing really badly at training. Waking up at 5 a.m. and doing all these things and just putting in their whole heart and soul and having failures and feeling down in the dumps and feeling like they're not going to get anywhere. You don't see that unless someone makes a movie about you. You just see that person. How are they doing in this competition, in this fight? Oh, they're doing well. So they must be just a really great person. But you don't see all of the stuff before that. You just see the end result. And even, for example, with this podcast, you hear us speaking. You hear me speaking but you don't see the person that I was five years ago who couldn't talk just to one person who just was so shy so lacking self-esteem that he just couldn't say anything because he didn't feel able to and didn't feel like he was competent enough to speak. You don't see that. And you don't see those small incremental changes that I made over the course of five years and the small breakthroughs and the failures. You've got to be aware that not everything is a glory moment and that life can be boring and life can be tough. And you just push through things and as long as you're going in the right direction and you're making those incremental wins over time working on yourself. I know an MMA fighter from Manchester. Kid who I know, I know him pretty well. I've known him for a long time and he just won the PFL, just won a million dollars at a tournament in America. He lives in Thailand most of the time. But I remember him from 10, 12 years ago in the boxing, in Champs Camp boxing gym when he had holes in his shoes just training relentlessly hard and now he's just achieving the result of all that hard work and he's getting the success but I think that's the most glaring example I can think of of someone that's continued to work no matter what over a long period of time and now is getting his just deserts. I think of people like that who I've known again through martial arts. It always comes back to the same thing. Yeah. And there's a flip side to that and I'm not prescribing everyone to be working every day of every week towards things. The fact that there is that time scale doesn't mean that you have to do everything now but it does mean that you have to do some things now. And it's not always this. It's great, it's great to work and it's great to be on the grind and to do things but it's also really important to kind of temper yourself and not get too excited because when you try to push yourself too far when you try to push yourself too far too quickly that's when you experience those feelings that nothing's ever going to change because you're not looking at it on a long time scale. You're not being patient. You're not waiting for those small incremental changes over a long period of time to add up and it's really important not to put that pressure on yourself just because you're not at a certain point that you want to be at this time and you're not putting every ounce of everything that you have every single day. You are taking a step back. You are thinking about yourself. You are taking care of your self-care and also making sure that you don't overwork yourself and burn out.
