She mastered English in 3 months. She was diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s. What she discovered in between could change how you see your own potential.
Dr. CJ Leland isn’t your typical comeback story she’s a disruptor of timelines and a destroyer of expectations. In this raw, 20-minute interview, Baz Porter dives deep into the journey of a Filipina girl who arrived in the U.S. with zero English, learned through cassette tapes and Archie comics, and ended up a professor, dean, and business owner.
But it’s what happened after the degrees that will hit home. Diagnosed with ADHD decades late, CJ finally had a name for what made her different. Her words cut through the noise:
“For 80% of your life, you hear you are less than. That voice doesn’t leave easily. But you get to speak back.”
She reveals how strict routines, cultural resilience, and her grandmother’s wartime wisdom shaped her unstoppable mindset. Whether you’re navigating burnout, identity loss, or the silent shame of feeling behind this episode is a wake-up call.
What you’ll get out of this episode:
- How to use your learning style as a superpower
- The real cost of masking neurodiversity
- What radical self-discipline actually looks like
- Why discomfort is the birthplace of brilliance
