Ep. 61 "I Can't Be Successful In School" Warren Mainard's False Narrative

Narrative Podcast

"What does God say about me? And what God says about me is that because of Christ and what he did for me, I am good enough." - Warren Mainard

Warren had an abundance of confidence that he could do anything. But when Warren's kindergarten teacher identified Warren Mainard as having dyslexia, he was forced to repeat Kindergarten. The message Warren took from that was he was flawed, he'd never be good at school, and school was easier for the other kids. We discussed how the teacher taking action FOR Warren felt AGAINST him to Warren. Warren was a man whose childhood struggles with dyslexia shaped a false narrative of inadequacy and self-doubt.
Warren soon learned to focus on other aspects of school and life like being the class clown and tennis. Listen to his "bend in the road" in college and the young lady who challenged him on his grades. He realized he just learns differently! Through introspection and faith, Warren discovered that his true calling and identity were not defined by external achievements but by a higher purpose, leading him to redefine his life's mission and impact others in profound ways.

Today, Warren Mainard continues to inspire and lead as the national director of Impact Players, dedicating his life to empowering men to excel as husbands, fathers, and leaders. His journey through hardship and self-discovery has shaped his approach to life, emphasizing the importance of resilience, faith, and personal growth. Warren encourages listeners to embrace their own unique journey and find purpose beyond the limitations of societal expectations by asking 2 simple questions. Listen to the end to learn what they are.
