What makes you Uniquely You?
I make some of my best decisions in life while eating a sunshine curry at 5 am in the morning at Dino's Cafe in East London. I'm not a great sleeper, and I'll get up at 3/4 am in the morning and head straight to Dino's, and that's when I want to start work. There is nothing more important than a good breakfast in the morning to fill you up for a hard day of graft.
I have dyslexia and/but…
the one thing that’s always bailed me out in every situation is my ability to sell.
It is important to raise awareness of dyslexia because…
it needs to be understood by more people so they can spot the signs and get a diagnosis. This will open up a world of help and access to resources. Dyslexia shouldn’t hold a person back, no matter what age.
In his newly released book 'GRAFT' Tom talks candidly about his dyslexia.
'Graft' is a window into the world of a professional wheeler-dealer who knows exactly what it takes to stay afloat and keep your chin up when the going gets tough.
