ADHD Never Giving Up on your Passion w/h Civil Engineer Liz Wells
Eight years of college, ‘being stubborn’ and above all- never giving up, made a success story of our guest today Liz Wells. A friend recommended I interview her for many reasons, but what really got me- is that she’s a huge animal lover too!! We don’t talk that much about animals today, (big ones, or small ones), but we definitely talk about big passion, drive and perseverance! Happy New Year! I hope you enjoy this one!

Good stuff. I’m into engineering but have failed in college math courses myself and was kicked out of university myself. I wanted to know why she was passionate about civil engineering.
