Pedro Pena | The Power of Hope, Steadfastness, & My Stuttering Life

EPISODE OVERVIEW:
Did you hear the one about the little boy so savagely attacked by a dog on his way home from school that he hit his head on the concrete and woke up without any verbal skills? You know, the one where he had to relearn to speak and ended up with a debilitating stutter so bad that in his teenage years he almost gave up hope and went to commit suicide because of all the constant ridicule and bullying? Well, if you missed that one, check out this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast and see how our friend went from hopelessness to hope, found purpose, and through hard work and steadfastness is now doing everything people told him was "impossible". Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Pedro Pena story!
