Ty Pennington requires little introduction. He's our favorite carpenter from Trading Spaces and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and has written and just released his 3rd book called Life to the Extreme: How a Chaotic Kid Became America's Favorite Carpenter. For the first time, Ty's opening up about his remarkable life story growing up with undiagnosed ADHD. In his book, he takes you racing through his life with ADHD-infused diversions that will make you laugh out loud and maybe even cry. Ty's hard work, tough times, family, and life experiences have come together to make him an incredibly genuine person overflowing with human kindness.
In this episode we talk about what it was like growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, how he scored his first acting gig on Trading Spaces, his life-changing experience on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and what motivates his heart to give so much to others. Ty's boundless energy and his sense of humor are infectious. It was really fun to chat with him and hear some of his stories. So, listen in, you’ll laugh and enjoy getting to know him on a more personal level.
