Things that Ben and this week's guest, Becky of London, have in common: Both were young rebels. Both had a frustrating school experience. Both are creativity-driven. Both totally immerse themselves in specific interests in short blasts before moving onto the next total immersion. Both are learning how to slow down and take breaks. Becky is a barber. And Ben badly needs a haircut. But it's Becky in the chair on this episode, with a great story of how she arrived at a late Tourette diagnosis and how it applies looking back through earlier life. Ben also shares a ridiculous story from his young schoolboy days involving a number-two pencil. A chance to get a Tourette scholarship. And a listener question about the intersection of colored lighting and emotion.
