Lee Lovett — How a Cure for Stuttering Can Help All of Us — Episode 69

In Today's Episode Today we are talking with Lee Lovett about ways people can cure their own anxiety. Lee began his career as an attorney and has authored several books on communications law. He also co-founded approximately 100 businesses (mostly related to telecommunications), nearly all of which were sold to public companies and are still operating today. Long retired, Lee is a devoted family man with a long marriage, four sons and 13 grandchildren. Once a dedicated runner, biker, weight lifter, and snow skier, his primary avocation has always been reading, and he has reviewed hundreds of books online as BookAWeekMan. In 2015-16, he released four books on Amazon: Happiness in Seven Steps; The Watergate Rhymes; Stuttering & Anxiety Self-Cures; and WORDs You Need to Know. He has two more books in the works.  His primary charity is helping fellow stutterers cure themselves, which he does by giving away his book and Skyping with stutterers, no charge.
