In this inspiring episode of Get On Track, we’re joined by James Burden, founder of Stuttering Blueprint—an online program dedicated to helping professionals and entrepreneurs who stutter speak with conviction and build effortless connections. James opens up about his personal journey, the inner battles faced by those who stutter, and why true transformation comes from accepting and owning your unique voice, not erasing it. James Burden is the founder of Stuttering Blueprint, an online coaching program designed to help professionals and entrepreneurs who stutter speak up and connect without fear. Inspired by stories like NASCAR driver Mason Massey—who has redefined what it means to stutter in the public eye—James advocates for embracing, not erasing, stuttering.
His work focuses on moving past traditional fluency goals toward a place of confidence, leadership, and true self-acceptance. James is on a mission to guest on 100 podcasts this year, sharing this badly needed message and helping reframe stuttering for a new generation.
This episode is packed with empowering stories, actionable mindset shifts, and practical advice for anyone facing self-doubt, shame, or fear—whether in communication or life. If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or simply someone looking to turn vulnerability into strength, you’ll walk away with tools and inspiration to lead with authenticity and connection.

- Reframing Stuttering: Why self-acceptance is the most powerful step, and how letting go of shame changes everything.
