Phil Hanley, comedian, author, and ND Alliance ambassador, is proof that struggling with words doesn’t mean you can’t build a life around them. In this interview with Q with Tom Power, Phil opens up about growing up with severe dyslexia, the shame that followed him for years, and how comedy became the tool that helped him turn pain into confidence and creativity. With humor and honesty, he shares why dyslexia isn’t a limitation, why “just sound it out” misses the point, and what dyslexic kids actually need most: self-esteem.
