If you were like me growing up, I often felt like I didn’t fit in. Especially when we moved from Hawaii to San Jose, Ca. I was the only asian kid in my class. So I got picked on, not so much because of my ethnicity but my height. Or lack thereof. 

I’m sure this is a common scenario but the good thing is your differences don’t determine your success in life. Or maybe it does in a positive way. 

Meet Duane and Becky Zingale. Duane is a successful digital marketing consultant that was born with a rare condition called Treacher Collins Syndrome. It can cause some facial deformities and in his case a lack of ears. Sometimes for laughs he likes to play Mr. Potato Head and take off his ears in front of people. And their youngest daughter was also born with the same condition. 

They’ve normalized the condition so much that their daughter thinks other people are weird because they don’t have hearing aids. 

So join us in this fun interview in which we get to talk about how all of our differences make us unique and wonderful. You also get to hear the story of how Becky ended up writing a children's book for children that feel different. It’s called “Wonderfully Different, Wonderfully Me.”
