Description

Adopted, misdiagnosed, and navigating life with dyslexia—Dylan Smith could have let his early challenges define him. Instead, he chose to transform them into fuel for impact.

In this heartfelt episode of Born or Made, Larry Dix sits down with keynote speaker, educator, and entrepreneur Dylan Smith to unpack the power of persistence, perspective, and service. Dylan shares how his setbacks became the foundation for leadership, why humility is a strength in building authentic connections, and the difference between what people do and who they really are.

From teaching kids across the country to writing his first book, Dylan’s journey is proof that obstacles aren’t roadblocks—they’re opportunities to discover purpose and inspire others along the way.
