In this introductory segment of the Resilient Kid podcast's Young Voices Season, host Ashley Costello introduces Tom Newey, a young entrepreneur and founder of Layers Treats.
Tom shares his challenging experiences in the education system, dealing with bullying and lack of support for his dyslexia, which led him to change schools and ultimately avoid university to start his business.
Through resilience and innovation, Tom successfully built Layers Treats, a unique chocolate business that quickly gained popularity, particularly for its creatively layered Easter eggs.
Ashley and Tom discuss the importance of listening to young people's experiences to enact meaningful changes in education and the value of pursuing one's passion.
