Shy by Design with Michael Thompson

Michael Thompson discusses his new book Shy by Design, which outlines 12 timeless principles for standing out quietly. He shares his journey from stuttering and shyness to embracing his imperfections and leveraging his unique qualities. Thompson highlights the importance of curiosity and authenticity, drawing from his experiences in sales and his work with clients.

He emphasizes the value of living in the 90s-like pace of his current town, Palamos, and the balance between creative work and financial stability.

Thompson also touches on the significance of belonging and the impact of his students' diverse backgrounds on his teaching approach.
