Coloring Outside The Lines Is Your Edge | Ep. 8
Too many people try to fit in when standing out is what makes you unstoppable.
In this episode of The MLO Project, Frazier and Michael McAllister dive into the power of embracing your differences, inspired by Jonathan Haddad’s session at a recent Scottsdale event. Your quirks, your neurodivergence, your unique way of thinking—they’re not flaws. They’re your edge.
They share personal stories, including experiences with autism in their families, and how leaning into authenticity leads to personal and professional success. It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about playing to your strengths and finding smart ways to navigate challenges.
The world rewards realness, not perfection. Hit play and start embracing what makes you different.
